RC SCALE:
Skymaster A4 Skyhawk at 1550mm / 61 inch wing span = about 1/5.5 scale.
Jet Hanger A4 Skyhawk at 47 inch wing span is about 1/8 scale.
Measure the instrument panel space width of your aircraft. The fuselage of most RC aircraft seem to be a little fat, adjust cockpit panels to fit.
FINE SCALE:
Print LIFE SIZE PNG file onto 35mm (24x36mm, about 1½ inches wide) slide film.
A 35 inch wide panel printed full frame = about 1/24 scale, 2/3 frame = about 1/32 scale, and ½ frame = about 1/48 scale. Hi-white the back and install. The detail is there, but you’ll need a magnifier to see it.
Use this ratio to tailor panel fit:
Hasegawa A4E/F Skyhawk and Trumpeter A4M, both in 1/32 scale.
Fine scale models tend to have thicker scale skin. Adjust accordingly.

Originally A4 Skyhawk was meant to carry a nuc on a one-way mission if WW3 broke out. Douglas Skyhawk gave the Navy and Marines an impressive ‘Bantam Bomber’ aircraft from 1954 until early 80s. In Vietnam, A4s did a lot of duties including conventional bombing and Iron Hand. Upgraded A4s were used by Singapore (A4S w F404 turbofan)), Malaysia, New Zealand.
A4D Skyhawk CDkit
‘Heinemann's Hot-Rod’ primary US Navy version.
Those sold to Argentina as A4B/A4P/A4Q used the Ferranti D126R ISIS gun sight.
During the 1982 Falklands War, Argentina’s Skyhawks A4P (A4D modified) was sensitive to low level AAA on British ships superstructure, and Harrier Sea Dart, Sea Cat and Sea Wolf AA missiles.
A4E Skyhawk CDkit
‘Scooter’ was the ride of both John McCain and James Stockdale.
‘Iron Hand’ ops 1965-1973 against radar AAA and SA2 missiles, were usually a preface to a bombing strike force. Pilots of A4E Skyhawks and A6 Intruders flew ‘hard deck’ directly into the radar cone with AGM45 Shrike. This was followed by an
F8 Crusader with a bit of 20mm cannon, rocket fire, and cluster bombs.
A4E Skyhawk was used by Blue Angels and TOPGUN aggressors (reality and movie). Australia flew A4s off HMAS Melbourne in 1980.
A4M/N Skyhawk CDkit
A4M: 5 Marine Squadrons, A4N: IIsrael’s IDF as Ayit (Eagle) in Yom Kippur War, and Indonesia’s TNI-AU (1982-2003), and as A4PTM of Malaysia.

The AN/APG153 Doppler radar connects ASN41 Nav computer with waypoints and memory of alternate routes or targets. It also connects to ARN52 TACAN – 126 channels – bearing and DME.
Later A4N versions got Hughes AN/ASB-19 Angle Rate Bombing System with TV and laser spot tracker. Many were used by Israeli Air Force.
