Tamiya 61505 Douglas A-1H Skyraider 1/48 Display Kit  [61505]

Scale Profile of the A-1H Skyraider

The Douglas A-1H Skyraider is noted for its tough construction and ability to carry substantial external stores. Tamiya's 1/48 model aims to reflect those qualities, providing a faithful static subject for display and diorama work.

Development Story and Model Relevance

Initiated from a 1943 Bureau of Aeronautics programme and first flown in 1945, the aircraft variant AD-6, later called A-1H, became widely produced for its durability and payload ability. This static kit allows modellers to recreate the Skyraider's operational presence on the bench.
