Description

Up for sale is a brand new 1:72 scale US Marines Douglas A-4M Skyhawk 160024 (HA1437) by Hobby Master.

The A-4 Skyhawk is one of the most successful attack aircrafts ever built. This smallest jet aircraft ever deployed on a carrier was the product of Douglas’s Chief Engineer Ed Heinnemann in the 1952. This was the time when a more lightweight aircraft was in demand to fit into those post-war vintage carriers. The Skyhawk was extensively used during the Cold War period and the Vietnam War by the Navy and the Marines. Because of its small size and powerful performance, the A-4 was also known as the “Heinnemann’s Hot Rod”. A total of 2, 960 of Skyhawk were built and many of them were exported to other countries. This aircraft was a late model that flew with VMA-131 “Diamondbacks”.

This model air-plane is made from die-cast metal and include extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Corgi, Gemini Jets, JC Wings, Witty Wings, Century Wings, NG Models and Aviation72.

Includes display stand.
