    Malaysia National Day 2005

 

Based on the Royal Malaysian Air Force (TUDM) flying tanker used in the mid-90’s. At least 6 of the A-4 PTMs was retain as the interim tanker for TUDM while waiting for the introduction of the C-130 in tanker configuration.

 

The paint job on the real aircraft was extremely weathered. For the model, I used the F-16 auxiliary fuel tank as base for scratchbuilding the D-704 flight refueling pack.
