Thanks once more, Carlos, Péricles and wireandpaper.

It is all Yoav's fault (

) with his marvelous A-4 that got me so eager to make this model as good as possible (even if it will never be a real competitor to his model)

I continue the series with this difference build of the A-4E and F versions. (not all parts added, so you don't see the refueling probe or strobe lights here)
The E include a longer nose, new intakes with vanes (or whatever they are called), steps, the sensor radome under the nose and the extra bulge.
The F-version bulge has not been glued in the picture, since the livery is that of an E.

I also tried giving some depth to the line by adding a thin white line slightly moved. Not sure if this is even visible on the pictures.

Next stop M version.

And you can add with Hump/no Hump, long exhaust tube for the late IAF plans, open slats option and so on

**cafe** · #**10854** 07-25-2017, 07:45 AM

The hump! Will you do the version for the two-seater ? If I'm not mistaken, the kuwaiti TA-4KU (including the brazilian AF-1A) and USMC OA-4M have the hump.

Meanwhile I did some tweaks to Stormeagle's edit of the 1:300 F-16. I retrieved the tail cone from the YF-16* and made a basic US livery (untested) but didn't add any more panel lines.

The zip contains an SVG file. You can open it in Inkscape and play with the content of the 4 layers (from bottom to top: tabs > colors > markings > model). The elements of each layer are grouped (except the colors apparently) so you may have to ungroup them (select object and press ctrl + U) if you want to edit/move some parts.

* (some things don't handle the pdf to inskcape transition well:gradients and filling shapes)

One of my favorite A-4s. I had it in my "to do list" to repaint your 1/300 version of it...had all the photos and reference on it set.

Thanks again, everyone.

Indeed the A-4F and all its variations are in the works.
As for the 2-seaters, if all goes well, they will come after the M including TA-4F, OA-4M, TA-4SU.
