Review by Timothy Dike
| The A-4 Skyhawk was one of the work horses of the US Navy
during the cold war period. An extreamly agile aircraft it was idealy suited
for carrier operations. These aircraft flew off carriers in the Tonken
Gulf on missions against North Vietnam. For some reason no manufactuture
has produced one in 1/350 scale until now. Mike Czibovic of Corsair Armada
is producing a limited number of this kit.
It includes landing gear, gear doors and drop tanks. There is an optional electronics package for the spine to do an E/F, just cut the tail fin at the groove. The casting is quite nice with nice panel lines engraved for rudder and flap detail. The landing gear doors even have a cast on landing light. |

| The Skyhawk is cast on a resin block with a thin film of flash that is easily removed with a hobby knife. |  |
