About product

A-4 Skyhawk refueling probe type A (1:72, Aires/Quickboost)

This resin set brings a refueling probe for in-flight refueling in the type A variant for a kit of the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk in 1:72 scale. It is not a stand-alone airplane model but a detail accessory that replaces the simplified plastic part with a finer and more accurate casting.

The real subject

The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk was an American light carrier-based attack aircraft which, thanks to its compact design, served with a range of air arms around the world. The fixed refueling probe placed on the forward fuselage is one of its characteristic and prominently visible features. Individual machines differed in the configuration of the probe, which this set allows for with the type A variant.

Building and painting tips

First wash the mold release residue off the parts, carefully cut off the casting blocks and clean up the surfaces; protect your airways while sanding. Bond them with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Glue the thin probe with a light touch and, if you like, reinforce the joint so that it stands up to handling.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the A-4 Skyhawk with a type A refueling probe
  • Anyone interested in a more faithful rendering of a thin part
  • More experienced builders used to working with resin

The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No, this is a resin refueling probe that is fitted into an A-4 Skyhawk kit in 1:72 scale.

Type A marks one particular configuration of the refueling probe; the machines differed in the details of the probe.
