The A-4 Skyhawk is a carrier-capable ground-attack aircraft designed for the US Navy and Marine Corps. Skyhawks were the Navy’s primary light bomber used over North Vietnam. The Argentine air force also used the type during the Falklands War in 1982.
From its multi-purpose design to extensive service during multiple wars, the Douglas A-4B/Q Skyhawk is as stylish as it is versatile, as replicated in the model exclusively from Airfix! With 2 livery schemes and a 116mm wingspan, this aircraft is a must-have for Airfix fanatics and model makers alike.
Developed in the 1950s, the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk was utilized primarily by the USN and USMC. A lightweight aircraft, the Skyhawk could operate off of modernized Second World War aircraft carriers and later saw service over North Vietnam, as well as the conflict over the Malvinas Islands.
