Description: HOBBY MASTER HA1432 1/72 A-4SU SUPER SKYHAWK "EXERCISE HOT SHOT" REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE AIR FORCE BLACK KNIGHTS FLIGHT LEAD 1994 - IN STOCKThe RSAF "Black Knights" was created in 1973 and equipped with 4 Hawker Hunters which they flew until 1983 when they were disbanded. In 1981 another team was created, the "Flying Tigers" that were equipped with F-5E aircraft so they became the "Black Knights". In 1990 the team began to fly 6 A-4SU Super Skyhawks and in 1999 the team switched to 4 A-4SUs and 2 F-16As until 2007 when they flew 6 F-16s.The "Black Knights" were disbanded between 2009 and 2013 when they were re-established with 6 new F-16Cs ST Aerospace A-4SU Super SkyhawkDesigned to replace the antiquated, propeller-driven AD Skyraider, the A-4 Skyhawk was first flown on June 22, 1954. Douglas exceeded the original design requirements by delivering a carrier-capable aircraft that was only half the Navy's weight specification and so compact that it did not need folding wings. The A-4 was the first to use "buddy" air-to-air refueling (an A-4 could refuel other aircraft of the same type), which was helpful when operating in remote locations where dedicated tankers were impractical. The A-4 served the US Navy until 2003 and remained the preferred warplane for the Marine Corps until the 1980s, even after the introduction of the A-7 Corsair II.The Hobby Masters range presents detailed, ready-made diecast models of military aircraft.
