This new resin correction set from Cutting Edge Modelworks includes detail parts for your Hasegawa A-4 E/F to convert the cockpit into a A-4M.  To fully complete your model you will need other sets from Cutting Edge........it all depends on how complete you want your conversion to be. 

You get 

  • a beautifully details ejection seat with molded in seatbelts
  • Side panels complete with all the switches and buttons on the real aircraft.
  • Resin instrument panel with needles molded in.
  • Acetate sheet with instrument gauges so you can drill out the gauges on the resin instrument panel.
  • vertical firewall behind the seat including ejection seat rails.
  • HUD area
  • and a couple of other parts to complete the detailing 

To complete the conversion you will require the Cutting Edge CEC48401 A-4M Airframe Conversion unless you're building the Hasegawa A-4M kit....but this kit has it's own issues.

Resin casting is of a very high quality and all detail is very well done and very pleasing to see.  This conversion set from Cutting Edge Modelworks will be a welcome product for modellers wanting to build an accurate A-4M.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
