1/72 A-1H/J Skyradar “Vietnam War”

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

From the manufacturer:

Some planners scoffed at this piston-engine aircraft operating in the jet age. However, it was one of the most successful close support aircraft of the Vietnam War. Its lower flying speed allowed weapons to be delivered with greater precision and its 8,000lb weapons capacity ensured there was plenty to go around. Close support missions are inherently dangerous as the low level, low speed attack makes the aircraft vulnerable to every weapon on the battlefield. Thankfully, the remarkable resilience of the Skyraider pulled most through. Kit features two full decal sets.

Decal Options:

1. A-1J : USAF 56th SOW 602nd SOS Code: TT029 : SOCK IT TO ‘EM (142029) 1969
2. A-1H : VNAF 23rd TW 518th FS Code: KM : 37609 1966

All parts come molded in grey plastic with clear for the canopy. This kit also includes parts for the rare toilet bomb though it is not intended to be used with this kit.
