Beauty, much better than the f-toys one i got if not from the same mold.

Pity about the bloody fixed hump. Cancelled my order when I saw that.

you can cut the hump of the bird and add some putty. I have ordered mine already

F-toys didn't put out any A4s. It was cafe-reo, on two separate releases. Bu I have to agree that the Platz release is at least 10 times better than what CafeReo put out. Also, I think the hump is what makes this bird so cool. I've been waiting for this for over a year and can't wait to receive my stash. Eagerly awaiting MYK and others to put out some extra decals too!

yeah agreed, the hump can be removed quite easily. i plan to do that for some USN adversary planes. besides the hump will be useful for israeli versions!

At least Aeroclub were smart enough to make the hump a seperate part. Clanger really.

I had wrote to platz if they made like Fujimi did in their 1/72 A-4 family ,was perfect.
Using same wings,landing gears,central fuselage and profundors and changing only noses,canopy and tails we could had a A-4 family from early A/B/P/Q to E/F/M/K and even TA-4 or OA-4M they could sent the humpback as a part to fit (as Esci 1/72) .
I believe this could open a so many possibilities of versions,decals and diferent boxes..
Same thing could happen with a A-7 or Mig-21..or F-4
Maybe if platz have plans to make a full fuselage of a A-4M or A-4E without humpback.. I would love to see a Platz box with a Blue Angels version.. and with decals to make all planes of Demo Sqdr...the most beautifull plane of Blue Angels was A-4(remember the Van halen video of Dreams ..)
