1/32 Hasegawa A4-AR Fightinghawk C-905

Gallery Article by Daniel Colombi on July 12 2010

 

My conversion started with a Hasegawa 1/32 A4-E/F model kit.  My research data was found at “V Brigada Aérea – Villa Reynolds – San Luis – Argentina” (A4-AR home base).  Many pictures of A4s units helped my work.
