These variants were mainly used by the \u003cstrong\u003eUS Navy, United States Marine Corps (USMC)\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as by the air forces of \u003cstrong\u003eIsrael, Argentina, Singapore, and several other allied countries.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical description:\u003c\/strong\u003e This boom is a faithful miniature of the characteristic long air-to-air refueling probe, which was standard from the mid-1960s on the A-4E\/F and training TA-4F\/J variants. It enabled the use of the “basket and probe” system, which greatly enhanced the combat range of aircraft during carrier operations and long-range patrols. Skyhawks with this equipment were used intensively during, among others, the \u003cstrong\u003eVietnam War (Cold War era)\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as for daily training of elite US Navy pilots (TOPGUN).\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical data and details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: \u003cstrong\u003ePrecision replacement for plastic model kits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1\/72\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: \u003cstrong\u003eTurned brass\u003c\/strong\u003e – one-piece, extremely durable, accurately replicates real proportions and details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDedicated for: Models of A-4E, A-4F, TA-4F, TA-4J \u003cstrong\u003e(e.g. Hasegawa, Airfix, Italeri, Hobby Boss)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOriginal’s period of use: \u003cstrong\u003e1966–present\u003c\/strong\u003e (Cold War, modern times)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDetailed replication of equipment for combat and training Skyhawks\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEasy assembly – does not require additional processing or fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvantages and recommendations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Master AM-72-164 is the ideal choice for modelers seeking the highest quality detail and realism for their models.
