Cool The model

This particular version of the Skyhawk is the A-4E / F which is an in between version of the early C versions used by the US Navy and Marines and the later N / M version.
Douglas A-4 Skyhawk - Wikipedia


The E, F, H versions that served in the Israeli air Force are different than the later N versions . Israel has later on obtained the upgraded N ones and also locally added a longer tail pipe to reduce the damage from Infra Red missiles ( those were also added to the earlier Skyhawks ). Also, many have had the additional avionics hump on top of the fuselage.


I decided to build the earlier clean looking E / F version that Yoav created.

The files that Yoav provided for free were previously available on the DGA web site, however they are no longer available there. ( Yoav may want to jump in regarding that ).



Here are a couple of pages of the model.

Please note that if you are printing the JPEG files, you must use software that allows you to print it at the full size for each page or else, some pages will print at different scales and the model will not be built properly. If you want a different scale, then each page has to be printed at the same scale. Do not use the "fit to page " option for printing.
