Well all I can say is, being strapped in with your safety belts has just got to cramp your style ----
<...>It also turns out the Aeronavale evaluated an A-4M or two before deciding to go with the Super Etendard. Great, ANOTHER Scooter kit to buy!
modified with an Agave/Anemone radar + Exocet on the centre-line.
Perhaps the bulged canopy is a refit to replace the standard A-4 version. I have also heard the story that the rear cockpit was taken from other A-4s.
If I wanted to build a F-404 powered (like the A-4SU) in Satan's scale (1/72), what modifications would I need to add to reflect the F-404 installation? The web pictures of the A-4SU show a small intake on the side of left main intake. A smaller on on the right. The exhaust pipe looks to be unchanged. Five hardpoints vs three.
