This component is crucial for modelers wishing to accurately replicate the late variants of the A-4, such as the A-4M, A-4N, OA-4M, as well as upgraded A-4E\/F and TA-4F\/J.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Skyhawk, famous for its versatility and long service life (period: Cold War, modern times), participated in many conflicts, including the Vietnam War, Yom Kippur War, and the Falklands War. The refueling probes themselves were modernized several times—the bent variant appeared to improve aerodynamics and safety during aerial refueling, especially under complex maneuvering conditions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Master AM-72-165 product is made of durable brass, ensuring historical accuracy, resistance to damage, and a level of detail that standard plastic elements cannot provide. This replacement offers modelers confidence in replicating each detail true to the original—a vital feature for contest and display models. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nWe highly recommend this product to both beginner and advanced modelers seeking the highest precision in building military aircraft models from the Cold War and modern eras. The exceptional ease of assembly ensures that even less experienced individuals can achieve the most impressive and realistic results. In addition, the metal probe is significantly more durable than its plastic counterpart and will help avoid unsightly damage during handling or display of the finished model. \n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Master","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54805226455374,"sku":"MASAM-72-165","price":6.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5149\/0638\/files\/f1774dda66bd6a585d6befd248e69e80.jpg?v=1757357944","url":"https:\/\/plastmodel.de\/en\/products\/86423-master-am-72-165-a-4-skyhawk-wygiety-wysiegnik-sondy-tankowania-uzywany-w-wersja-pl","provider":"Plastmodel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
