The short, simple refueling probe boom used on the A-4B played a huge role in extending the Skyhawk’s range during carrier operations. Thanks to this fine detail, modelers can authentically replicate the paint schemes and variants of this aircraft, as used on Capri, in the South China Sea area, or during the early phases of the armed conflicts in the 60s. The precisely turned brass element is incomparably more durable than the original plastic parts included in the kits and allows for a very impressive display of the finished model.

We recommend this product both to experienced modelers and to those taking their first steps at an intermediate level – assembly is extremely easy (difficulty level: 1/5), and the final result will no doubt delight collectors who care about historical realism and the highest quality workmanship. Master AM-72-162 works perfectly in carrier dioramas or when displaying models in US Navy markings from the late 1950s and early 1960s.
