Weekend has started nicely for me with Trumpeter releasing their 1/32 A-4E Skyhawk. It looks as if there are plenty of good feature with this release and also plenty of things to hang from the wings.

Man that looks sweet! I could do without the rubber tires, and with some decal options, but man that looks sweet...

Yes the kit is a welcomed addition as we have needed a large Skyhawk made with modern production standards.

However the kit IMO falls short without the inclusion of the bent refueling probe as I want to make a Blue Angel A-4. Or a late career retro-fitted Skyhawk.

Now if they do a TA-4J and OA-4M I would be most happy.
