1/32 Trumpeter A-4F Skyhawk 02267

Product introduction:

The A-4 Skyhawk was designed by Douglas in response to a U.S. Navy call for a jet-powered attack aircraft to replace the older A-1 Skyraider. Douglas opted for a design that would minimize its size. weight. and complexity. The result was an aircraft that weighed only half of the Navy’s weight specification. It had a wing so compact that it did not need to be folded for carrier stowage.

A-4F refinement of A-4E with extra avionics housed in a hump on the fuselage spine (this feature later retrofitted to A-4Es and some A-4Cs) and more powerful J52-P-8A engine with 9.300 lbf (41 kN) of thrust. later upgraded in service to J52-P-408 with 11.200 lbf (50 kN). 147 built. Some served with Blue Angels acrobatic team from 1973 to 1986.
