1/48 Scale Skyraider Model Background

The Italeri 2697S AD-4 Skyraider kit represents a durable, piston driven attack aircraft that served effectively in various postwar conflicts. This 1/48 scale release highlights panel detail and the Skyraider's distinctive form, making it suitable for modellers seeking a period accurate static project. Its reputation for carrying heavy loads and remaining operational under fire made it a valued asset in ground support missions.

French service included over a hundred Skyraiders, particularly active during the Algerian campaign, filling roles previously held by types like the T-6 Texan. The kit enables construction of variants that served with different operators, including air forces from former colonial territories such as Chad and Gabon. The Italeri 2697S supplies the parts and instructions to build a faithful representation.
