A-4 Skyhawk Detail Sets Incoming
Master has released four turned metal detail sets for the Trumpeter 1:32 scale Douglas A-4 Skyhawk


AM-32-131 - 20mm Colt Mk 12 cannons – 1:32

The first new set in 1/32 scale is MASTER AM-32-161 which is a 20mm Colt Mk 12 cannons for Douglas A-4 Skyhawk aircraft . We tried to make it a universal kit - “for use” with all 1/32 scale models.

We turned the gun barrels out of metal, and the exhaust brake is 3D printed from resin. The new generation of 3D printers allowed us to reproduce all the details 100% - and at this scale there was no room for mistakes or simplifications!

Comparison of MASTER cannons from the AM-32-131 set and plastic parts from the 1/32 scale Trumpeter kit. I guess it looks pretty good?

AM-32-132 – A-4 Re-Fuelling Probe [Straight] – 1:32

The second set - this time for the A-4E/F and TA-4F/J versions of the Skyhawks in 1/32 scale - is the MASTER AM-32-132 – long straight type of refueling boom. To simplify the installation on the Trumpeter model we added a resin adapter to this kit – and it will be more modelers-friendly!

This is how our probe from the MASTER AM-32-132 sett looks like mounted to Trumpeter's A-4E model. Quick & effective job!

AM-32-133 - A-4 Re-Fuelling Probe [Bent]

The next of our 1/32 scale Skyhawk “refueling” kits is MASTER AM-32-133 - designed for the A-4M/N and late A4E/F and TA-4F/J versions. As you can see, the set includes a bent probe and resin adapter for Trumpeter kit.

AM-32-134 – A-4 Skyhawk late pitot tube – 1:32

The last new set for upgrading Your 1/32 scale „Scooter” is MASTER AM-32-134 – A-4 Skyhawk late pitot tube. This type of probe was used on late examples of Skyhawks – A-4M, OA-4M, TA-4J, TA-4E/F, A-4AR and A-4/TA-4SU versions.
