Review Summary

The reviews highlight a generally positive experience with the model kit, noting its high quality, precise molds, and enjoyable build process, though some mention minor fitment issues that are manageable even for novices. Many appreciate the historical and customization options, particularly with decals, but there is a desire for additional features like armaments, pilot figures, and more varied decal choices representing other operators. A few also note the kit's age showing in certain aspects, yet it remains a satisfying and relatively quick build.

John McCain

By: kennethlinger (Raleigh, NC)

As a prior service member and a disabled combat veteran with united states army, I found this build to be a historical build for me. I used the A4M Skyhawk with John McCains aircraft markings. This model went together very well and the decal placement I had to use a book of the A4 Skyhawk. I enjoyed this build thoroughly.

Good

By: Matthew M. (Orofino Id)

The model kit was as expected good quality No pilot though which is okay I will order a aftermarket Areobonus to complete the model. All the parts are precise molds no flash or warps typical Hasegwa quality no complaints I would build another one Well the decals are okay but it would be nice to see other options of other country A4 Skyhawk Operators because there are but the ones supplied to the model is fine other than that good model kit.

enjoyable build

By: wayne (Birmingham AL)

the kit shows its age in some ways. there were a few fitment issues, but nothing even a novice modeler couldn't handle. all in all it built up nice and I enjoyed it. I do wish hasegawa would include armaments for their kits. bomb racks and such.
