Brazil's
navy bought ex Kuwaiti Air Force Skyhawks to deploy on their aircraft carrier
Sao-Polo (ex aircraft carrier Foch from French Navy).
After US
Navy, Argentina and Australia, Brazil is the fourth (and the last )country to
use Skyhawk on an aircraft carrier.
The Hasegawa
Skyhawk is a very nice kit and after building two A-4's from Singapore and
New-Zealand Air Force, I decided to add a third with a Brazilian flag!

I've
done some little improvements on the landing gear, and replaced the ejection seat
with an Aires resin piece.
Except
for the fuel tanks, this kit is a very easy to build and offers a very accurate
representation of "Scooter".
I hope you will like
this "girl from Ipanema"!
Now I would like to
build an Argentinean Skyhawk...
