About product

The A-4C Skyhawk conversion set 1:72 (Brengun)

A resin conversion set of the Czech brand Brengun in 1:72 scale. This is not a kit of the aircraft or a finished model, but a set of replacement and supplementary parts with which a plastic Skyhawk kit is modified to the A-4C version. The exact content of the package and the number of parts you will find on the box; it is sensible to check the compatibility with a particular model beforehand. The target kit is Airfix.

The real subject

The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk was a light single-seat carrier-based attack aircraft with a delta wing, designed deliberately as a small and light machine that managed without a wing folding mechanism on an aircraft carrier. The A-4C version followed on from the earlier production variants and brought a modified nose with added avionics, which broadened the possibilities of employment in worsened weather conditions. Skyhawks served with a number of users for several decades and went through many partial modifications, so there are noticeable external differences between the individual versions. It is precisely these that conversion sets address.

Building and painting tips

First wash the resin parts with lukewarm water and detergent, so that residue of mold release agent is removed, otherwise paint will not hold on them. Separate the casting blocks with a fine saw or a cutting disc, level the area with a file and finish by wet sanding with protection for your airways. Resin is glued with cyanoacrylate; ordinary cement for plastic has no effect on it. Before gluing, do a dry fit, fill any gaps with filler and sand them over. A coat of primer unifies the resin with the plastic and reliably reveals small bubbles or score marks, which would otherwise show up under the paint only on the finished model.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want to build a particular version of the Skyhawk
  • Builders in 1:72 scale with basic experience of resin
  • Collectors of jet carrier-based aircraft
  • Those who are completing an older kit with more accurate shapes

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

FAQ

It is not. This is a conversion set from resin, which completes and replaces parts on a plastic kit in 1:72 scale that has already been bought. You will not build the aircraft itself from the set.

The target kit is Airfix. Conversion sets of this type are designed for a particular base. According to the name the set is intended for the Airfix kit; check the match before buying all the same, so that you do not buy a set for a different model.

With cyanoacrylate, ideally in the gel variant if you need more time to set the part. Glue for polystyrene does not bite into resin and the joint does not hold.

Yes. Wash them with water and detergent because of residue of mold release agent and then apply primer. Without that the paint peels and unevenness of the surface stays hidden until the end of the build.
