HOBBYCRAFT 1/48 A-4 SKYHAWK KIT TABLE
Latest update: 5 November 2005
Hi, I’m Tony Hodun, and this is table of 1/48 Hobbycraft A-4 Skyhawk kit listings I’ve developed to aid you as a modeler or collector in finding the right kit to build the version you want or to fill the gaps in your collection.
HOBBYCRAFT 1/48 A-4 SKYHAWKS
Hobbycraft’s recent A-4 Skyhawk family covers seven versions, and uses twenty-two different parts trees to do it! While they are not as easy to build as Hasegawa kits, they look like a Scooter when completed, and most versions come with plenty of ordnance. The A-4 Skyhawk parts trees are as follows (unused letters are J,X,Y,Z; maybe we’ll see a two-seater kit use them someday!):
