SKU: HB81789 | Brand: HobbyBoss | Product: HobbyBoss 1/48 A-4C Sky Hawk Plastic Model Kit The A-4 Skyhawk originated from Douglas Aircraft's response to U.S. Navy requirements for a jet-powered attack aircraft to succeed the propeller-driven A-1 Skyraider. Douglas pursued a minimalist approach, reducing overall size, weight, and structural complexity. The resulting aircraft came in at roughly half the Navy's specified weight threshold, with wings sufficiently compact that carrier operations required no folding mechanism for storage. - Over 120 plastic components - Intricately detailed fuselage and wing structures with authentic proportions - Fully appointed cockpit interior
