These products are not only sold in Japan but also exported in vast quantities to the United States, Europe, South East Asia, and to many other parts of the world. The standard of excellence achieved by Tamiya is regarded as among the very finest in the world of model hobbies. This finely detailed plastic model kit requires assembly and painting. Item is brand new and in its original factory packaging. Listing images are stock pictures provided by the manufacturer or the distributor. First introduced in 1946, the A-1 Skyraider’s frontline career as the U. S. Navy’s last piston-engined attack aircraft continued for thirty years until it’s final service providing close-air support and rescue helicopter escort during the Vietnam War. This kit depicts the most produced variant, the A-1H, and accurately reproduces the aircraft’s robust form. Engine cowl flaps, wing flaps, and dive brakes may be posed in open or closed positions. Parts are included for ordnance such as 250 lb bombs and 5-inch rockets to depict a fully-armed machine. One pilot figure and three marking options are also included. Kit complete and unstarted, but it is not sealed. Box may show some signs of age or wear-and-tear.
