1/48 Douglas A-4M Skyhawk
The Hobby 2000 1/48 Douglas A-4M Skyhawk is an American Cold War-era deck attack aircraft developed specifically for the US Marine Corps. The A-4M variant was the last and most technologically advanced version of the Skyhawk series. The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk was a light and agile deck attack aircraft that, thanks to its simple design, reliability, and low operating costs made it popular with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. The A-4M version was developed in the early 1970s. In the early 1970s, the A-4M was upgraded exclusively for the US Marine Corps and included a more powerful Pratt & Whitney J52-P-408A engine, a strengthened design, upgraded avionics, and a distinctive raised cockpit overlay for better visibility.
The A-4M Skyhawk was capable of carrying a wide range of armament - from bombs and missiles to cruise missiles - and performed close air support, ground target attack and anti-ship operations. Its size and maneuverability made it ideal for deployment from smaller carriers and makeshift airfields.
The 1/48th scale Hobby 2000 kit features detailed plastic parts with fine surface engraving, an accurate rendition of the A-4M version, and decals for authentic USMC markings. This model is designed for modelers interested in Cold War airborne aircraft and attack machines with a long service history.
Package does not include paint or glue needed for assembly.
