       This is a 1/48 Scale Plastic AD-6 Skyraider Airplane from Tamiya.

     Design work on the A-1 Skyraider began in 1943 when a new single seat
attack aircraft was required by the U.S. Navy.  Although it did not see action
in WWII, the A-1 was produced in quantity and provided valuable service in both
Korea and Vietnam where it was used to supress enemy action around downed
aviators while they were being rescued.

          Markings included for three U.S. Navy aircraft.
          About 195 parts in light grey and clear with fine recessed panel
            lines.
          Detailed landing gear, gear doors, and wheel wells.

            tub, seated pilot figure, and seat.
