About product

A-4M and A-4KU Skyhawk II, masks for the angular canopy

Shaped masks for the glazing frames of the latest Skyhawks in 1:48 scale. They are cut for the Hasegawa kit.

The last and most powerful Skyhawk

The M version was created at the beginning of the 1970s as a machine tailored to the Marine Corps, that is for the support of troops on the ground. It received a more powerful engine, a braking parachute at the root of the fin, an enlarged electronics fairing above the spine and above all newly shaped, markedly roomier glazing with a better view downwards and to the sides. The KU form corresponds to the machines delivered to Kuwait, which after years of service went on to another operator and flew from the deck of a ship. An airframe from the 1950s thus became a type that served well into the twenty-first century.

A different cockpit shape from the early versions

The most conspicuous difference against the older Skyhawks is the windscreen. While the early A-4s had low and strongly curved glass, here it is a taller, more angular part with flatter surfaces. Masking is therefore easier at first glance, but the frames are wider and longer, so even a small deviation in the placement of the mask runs across the whole length of the cockpit and shows. A pre-cut piece holds the line without measuring out.

Who it is worth it for

  • builders of Marine Corps machines of the 1970s and 1980s
  • for export Skyhawks in desert and naval finishes
  • when you want straight frames with no ripple along a long edge
  • for a model with a carefully worked-out cockpit interior

FAQ

No. The late versions have a differently shaped windscreen and canopy, so the pieces would not seat. There is a separate set for the E and F lines.

It is the export form for Kuwait, based on the same airframe. The shape of the glazing is identical on both.

It is ideal to fit the mask onto clean clear glass. If you have already applied a primer, wait until it has fully cured, otherwise it will flake away as the mask comes off.
