Yes!, those schemes work for me-- that is exactly what I am talking about. We need some more Vietnam-era USN A-4's with some Mk. 82 bomb loads!

We need Mk82's for every jet of every era. HM should really start putting them on their A-10's. And Dragon's Hornets could sure use them. As could all the later F-14's.

Hey Hawk, could you please ask HM to delay the release of the Israeli A-4 until the Mk 82 bombs are ready? I'd rather wait and see that plane bombed up than without bombs

Andrew, it may be a bit too late for that. It is not just a matter of waiting for the Mk.82s, but the boxes for the models will have been produced, and the shipping will have been contracted already, so I am not sure that HM can "wait".

I do agree that this model would have looked great with some Mk.82s, but if HM supplies them later as an optional set, I would buy then and load them later.
Actually, it would be great if HM came with a range of accesories for their 1:72 and 1:48 models :

• various ordnnance
• handling equipment for the above
• ground crews
• etc

In any case, thanks H1Vfor the pictures, and thanks HM for releasing this model.

Now, please, the Israeli and the iranian F-4Es in 2008...

Actually, I don't think it would be too late at this stage and its not something they haven't done before. They did re-do the paint on the P-39's. And it would be more cost effective for them to ship it with bombs than sell them as extras. I don't think everyone will buy the extras and they haven't done extras yet.

Well okay, I suppose it don't hurt to wait for them Mk 82 bomb loads...must try...to be...patient...

The model is too far along to delay and the Mk. 82s aren't far enough along so with the combination the IDF A-4 will come with the Zunis and the next A-4 will have the Mk. 82s and I assume once these Mk. 82s are developed they will start using them on other planes like David Hingtgen mentioned.

I am hoping that "the next A-4" mentioned above with the Mk. 82's will be a Vietnam-era USN Skyhawk. I would love to have one of those.
