Tamiya TAMIYA 61073 Douglas A-1J Skyraider USAF Product Summary

• Plastic model assembly kit of the A-1J.

  The Skyraider was developed as the US Navy's last reciprocating ship attack aircraft and continued to fly at the forefront for over 30 years.

The kit faithfully models the tough style characteristic of the Skyraider, the pilot's seat equipped with a simple escape device, the antennae added to the rear of the fuselage and other features of the Air Force version.
