             This is a 1/48 Scale A-4M Skyhawk (U.S.M.C. Attacker)
                        Plastic Model Kit from Hasegawa.

     The A-4M was developed as a stopgap next-generation ground support air-
craft to replace the U.S. Marine Corp's aging A-4, with the first production
aircraft flying in April 1970. Fitted with the powerful J52-P-408A engine, the
aircraft was capable of increased ordnance loads. The aircraft was visibly
distinguishable from the older A-4 by its squared-off rudder, and also by the
addition on later models of rudder-mounted RHAWS rear-warning radar.

FEATURES: 146 medium grey plastic pieces attached to sprue trees.
          Clear pieces for canopy included.
          Single seat cockpit.
          Recessed panel lines give authentic look.
          Detailed cockpit and landing gear.
          Realistic afterburner.
          Two drop tanks.
          Photo-etched parts for instrument panel and landing gear cables.
          Detailed pictorial instructions.
