Uh oh, I spy a missing slat track, inboard starboard. Somewhat sensitive to that part of a Skyhawk after struggling with the slats on my 1/72 Fujimi A-4B!

Yeah that slat track is broken but I think I still have the piece.

Back at it on the Skyhawk. Got rid of the mold line on the canopy mold line and dipped it in Future.

Re: 1/48 Hasegawa A-4M Skyhawk
A lot of companies do it. Even Tamiya. It's because the canopy bulges outward on the sides.
Just for fun. Man the Prowler is big. Or is the Skyhawk that small?

Re: 1/48 Hasegawa A-4M Skyhawk
Well, the Skyhawk was designed to fit on a Midway or Essex Class aircraft carrier elevator without needing folding wings. The Prowler on the other hand is an enlarged version of the Intruder, and definitely needs to have folding wings to fit on any carrier elevator…
