Will there be a drawing of this plane?
Title: Re: Douglas Skyhawk
Post by: No.1 on December 17, 2010, 10:21:36 AM
In this moment no, just images, but as well I really prefer this machine, I have some considering to start free lancer project and in this way you could expect technical drawings as well color profiles.

I'm look forward to this news. Is there a kit 1/72 of this machine? I would live to have it in my collection.

I have long time ago Esci kit, this was amazing kit, I also wish to have them as well in the late '90 I have order and received Superscale decals for this machine and I still consider to use it.

Airfix ever had a nice 1/72 scale kit. I still can remember I bought one in the Fokker personnel shop when I worked there in the early seventies. I had the built plane on my desk, but it disappeared after a visit of a delegation from the People's Republic of China. Maybe it is still there!! Fujumi had one at 1/50 scale, I believe from an early version and also ESCI-Hawk had it at this scale in their inventory.

Maybe somebody more versatile could make full list of the kits currently available? This could be good add on modeling section :)

Post by: Nico Braas on December 17, 2010, 06:18:21 PM
Fascinating stuff! I believe a special two-seat version with two separate cockpits was built in Malaysia. A-4 was also for some time very favorite at US Agressor squadron since it could simulate the MIG-21!!
A special tip for the Skyhawk dy-hards: try to get your copy of the book 'Combat aircraft designer' by Edward Heinemann. Book also contains the author's philosophy behind Skyraider, Skynight and Skyray desigs!!

Post by: Sall on December 17, 2010, 06:20:53 PM
Is there some images with full armed SkyHawk? :-think
There are not many pictures with air to air missiles... :-roll

Post by: No.1 on December 17, 2010, 06:22:57 PM
