Tamiya 61073-400 Skyraider Douglas A-1J 1/48 Metallic Edition Model Kit  [61073-400]

Overview of the Douglas A-1J Skyraider Tamiya 61073-400 Kit

The Tamiya 61073-400 reproduces the Douglas A-1J Skyraider at 1/48 scale with a focus on the airframe's heavy-duty character. The metallic edition enhances surface textures and rivet detail, providing a realistic base for weathering and finish work.

Originally conceived in the mid-1940s, the Skyraider earned distinction for carrying large ordinance loads and executing long missions. The A-1J variant incorporated structural upgrades that allowed it to handle demanding attack roles, traits evident in this kit's part definition.
