First Look
Here is the latest release from Caracal Models providing an interesting selection of Brazilian Navy AF-1 Skyhawks, includnig a very colorful anniversary scheme.
The aircraft presented in this set include:
- AF-1, N-1004, Brazilian Navy, 2014, 15th Anniversary Special Scheme
- AF-1, N-1017, Brazilian Navy, 2011
- AF-1, N-1021, Brazilian Navy (not mentioned in the instructions)
The instructions provide great information on how to modify the Hasegawa 1/48 A-4M kit into the AF-1 (these AF-1s were former Kuwaiti A-4KU airframes). For more information about this set and the other releases from Caracal Models, visit their website at http://caracalmodels.com.
