Re: IAF A-4E Pics

That sure looks good to me. Thanks for the pictures. I realize that there's an extra cost, but I wish that HM would standardize on including pilot/crew figures on all aircraft models. I, for one, wouldn't mind paying $3-4 extra per model to support this much needed option.

$3-4 for a tiny plastic pilot - that seems a little steep - maybe $0.75. For me, the jury is still out on pilot figures - it has never swayed me either way. I would rather have more realistic ordinace than pilot figures. For me, nothing ruins a model more than poorly done ordinance.

By the way - nice pix! I will be purchasing this one real soon!

Re: IAF A-4E Pics

It does look good, but the rockets need to be replaced with a bomb load. Still I can see myself getting this one.

Pardon my ignorance here, but why do people keep saying that? Would this plane not have carried rockets? I thought it was established in the other pic thread that this could very well be an accurate loadout? Or do folks just prefer the look of the bombs?

Re: IAF A-4E Pics

Hi,

I forgot that there is another thread devoted to the IAF Skyhawk. Could any of the mods possibly merge this with the earlier thread? Thanks!
