Magic Factory 1/48 A-4M Skyhawk, Review!

A fairly big release from Magic Factory is their 1/48 A-4M Skyhawk. While we have had the Hasegawa kit, and the new ish Hobbyboss kit, I think we are due for a completely new tool kit.

In 1978 i went to friends house to play some football and on a shelf in his house was the most beautiful aircraft model i had ever seen. I asked my friend what is that? He said a mongram A-4 skyhawk. Ive been in love with this plane ever since that time. Now, at nearly 60 years old it looks like the ultimate model of the skyhawk is going to be released. Although i like to close my model aircraft up the nose section looks problematic. I know! Ill buy two kits. One open, one closed, price be damned!

Lovely review, but of course as ever, the proof is in the pudding or eating thereof, whatever the expression is. For me, as I would presume the majority of us, is how is the fit? I make models as a relaxation after work and whilst I respect those who can take a sloppy kit and make a silk purse from it, I don't have the patience, or the skills, to do that so, minor modelling things like filler etc, I just want a good no-fuss, easy fit kit. I've only just found your channel, so might I say, thank you so much for not having any of that wholly unnecessary and obtrusive background music that so many seem to think is so important. I will be watching more of yours.

Here in northern Germany we have some Canadian A-4M providing services for aggressor interception trainings. I’ll get that kit for sure

That was a great review, on a kit you don't see around that often, not even on the competition tables, now if the bring out a A4-K I would be vety happy, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les

Great review, Rob! I've had my eye on this kit since it was announced. Pre-ordered mine a few days ago here in the states. Hope it's not a long wait.

Hi Rob, A great and honest review, really enjoyed it. I’ve built the Hasegawa kit but as the Eduard limited edition Scooter, and yes like you say it’s a lovely kit. However, having seen the Magic Factory one, I personally will buy that, as you’ve mentioned, just for the weapons alone, never mind the TER’s and MER’s you also get. Thanks again for the review, and taking the time to do it. Jason.

Thanks Rob for a great review! Wish some manufacturers would start producing kits of similar quality and research in 32nd scale. We always end up having to cad and print or scratch our parts to get quality that is available in the box in 48th 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nice review, thanks - looks like a great kit. Not sure about bulged tyres, USN aircraft typically used much higher tyre pressures than USAF ones? 🇬🇧

[@robbwatson2088]

I dont understand why the new kit is marketed as a,"2 in 1", yet you dont get a decal option for any early planes.
