this one's been around a while but i never bothered to look at it before, for some reason. I guess i just figured it would be miles too big. It's 1/16.8 scale (about the same scale as the bbi f-16). Wings are a bit too big for the fuselage, which is common among r/cs.

Comes painted, with decals.

Skyhawks were the NZ Air Force's Combat planes, they look like being sold back to the USA

The A-4 just begs to be made into 1/18th because of its size and history. You could make repaints for years from it. I know a good start would be to make John McCains Vietnam bird. From there you could go to the Blue Angels, an Israeli A-4, a Falklands Island Version. There are just too many to choose from.

It boggles the mind why this has not been made in 1/18 or 1/32! Personally I would love to see an A6.
