Hi Maciej! Welcome! I brought this one with me to my work, so I can do construction work during weekday evenings. Hopefully, I can make some progress.

Possibly too late, but an A-4M is not the correct version to use for an RNZAF A-4K. You need to start with an A-4E. The M was quite different, particularly the larger canopy and windshield and I believe the intakes and main wheels were different as well. All the A-4Ks started life as E/Fs, or in the case of the later ones acquired from Australia - Gs (although the G was a humpless F).

Nope! Still right on time! 😅 I shelved most of my projects because I had a jungle of half started kits and bits and bobs in my spray booth. Thanks for your insights nzgunnie6201! I can still adjust the contents of this project as I have an A-4E somewhere in the stash. I'll swap it and update this project. ☺️👍🏼

And quite menacing in that dark flat green!

Album info

Since KMNZ Decals is reissuing their 1/72 RNZAF A-4K decals, I'm shifting this idea up on my list. The HobbyBoss A-4M is ever so slightly more refined than the Hobby2000/Fujimi one that I'm thinking of using it and build the Hobby2000 in the threecolor Europe1 scheme the A-4Ks wore before.
