Master has released four sets of 1:72 scale refuelling probes for the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk

AM-72-162 - 1:72

The first new set in 1/72 scale is MASTER AM-72-162 for the A-4B Skyhawk. This version of the „Scooter” had the early type refueling probe ( with a peculiar bottle-shaped thickening at the back of the probe ). In the set You’ll find not only the metal boom with refueling probe, but also two resin adapters for easy mounting of this detail on the Airfix and/or Fujimi/Hobby 2000 model.

Our probe from the MASTER AM-72-162 set mounted to Airfix A-4B model. Due to resin adapter it’s quick & easy job!

AM-72-163 - 1:72

Our second set is the MASTER AM-72-163 dedicated to the C version of the popular “Scooter”. We accurately reproduced the longer than in the B version refueling probe with the newer tip ( without the characteristic bottle-neck shaped rear end ). Also set includes, in addition to the metal probe, resin adapter for mounting this detail on the Fujimi/Hobby 2000 model.

AM-72-164 - 1:72

The third set - this time for the A-4E/F and TA-4F/J versions of the Skyhawk - is the MASTER AM-72-164. Here the boom with the probe is still straight but longer ( the nose in these versions of Scooter was longer). And naturally - to simplify the installation on the Fujimi/Hobby 2000 and Hobby Boss models - we also added separate resin adapters for each brand kit.

This is what our probe from the MASTER AM-72-164 set looks like mounted to Fujimi A-4E model. About 5 minutes - and done!

AM-72-165 - 1:72

The next of our 1/72 scale Skyhawk “refueling” kits is MASTER AM-72-165 - designed for the A-4M/N, OA-4M and late A4E/F and TA-4F/J versions. As you can see, the set includes a bent probe and resin adapters for Fujimi/Hobby2000 and Hobby Boss kits.
