The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of American assault aircraft in 1:72 scale.
According to the demand of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, work on a prototype of a new, light assault aircraft started in the 50s. In 1956, the project was introduced to the service under the name Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. It was a small, onboard jet with delta wings layout and speeds of up to 670 mph (970 kph). It had a carrying capacity of more than 4 tons of combat material and was armed with two 20 mm cannons. Aircraft played a key role in the early stages of the Vietnam War. In the service of other armies, it also took part in the Yom Kippur War and Falkland Conflict.
Tamiya kit includes parts allowing for the assembly of the American carrier-capable attack aircraft Douglas A-4E / F Skyhawk model. Box includes 2 sprues, transparent elements of the cockpit cover and decals.
Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
