Please note: 1-200 & 1-144 scale prints will receive 3 fuel probes. We do not ship probes for 1-300 or 1-285 scale prints. The are just too small, thin, and break easily. I use a bristle from a brush for my models as they are much more flexible. for 1-200 scale I use a "cut to length" piece of jewelry brass/copper wire from the craft store.

Historical Context
The A-4C Skyhawk, a prominent lightweight, carrier-based attack jet, was used extensively as the primary light-attack aircraft for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, performing close air support and bombing missions. It was also utilized by Israel in the War of Attrition and Yom Kippur War, and by Argentina in the Falklands War. 
Key Operational Uses of the A-4C Skyhawk:
U.S. Navy & Marine Corps: Served as a primary attack plane in Vietnam for ground support and bombing. It was also used as a premier trainer, and from 1974–1986, it was flown by the Blue Angels flight demonstration team.
Israeli Air Force (IAF): Employed as a main ground-attack aircraft during the War of Attrition and the Yom Kippur War.
Argentine Air Force (FAA): Used in the 1982 Falklands War, successfully bombing Royal Navy vessels.
Other Operators: Used by Indonesia for counterinsurgency in East Timor, and by Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm. 
The A-4C variant specifically featured improved cockpit layouts, radar, and all-weather capabilities, making it the most produced model among early A-4 variants.
