In this moment no, just images, but as well I really prefer this machine, I have some considering to start free lancer project and in this way you could expect technical drawings as well color profiles.

I'm look forward to this news. Is there a kit 1/72 of this machine? I would live to have it in my collection.

I have long time ago Esci kit, this was amazing kit, I also wish to have them as well in the late '90 I have order and received Superscale decals for this machine and I still consider to use it.

Airfix ever had a nice 1/72 scale kit. I still can remember I bought one in the Fokker personnel shop when I worked there in the early seventies. I had the built plane on my desk, but it disappeared after a visit of a delegation from the People's Republic of China. Maybe it is still there!! Fujumi had one at 1/50 scale, I believe from an early version and also ESCI-Hawk had it at this scale in their inventory.

Fascinating stuff! I believe a special two-seat version with two separate cockpits was built in Malaysia. A-4 was also for some time very favorite at US Agressor squadron since it could simulate the MIG-21!!
A special tip for the Skyhawk dy-hards: try to get your copy of the book 'Combat aircraft designer' by Edward Heinemann. Book also contains the author's philosophy behind Skyraider, Skynight and Skyray desigs!!

Is there some images with full armed SkyHawk? :-think
There are not many pictures with air to air missiles... :-roll
I think it could carry 4 x Sidewinder...
