It offers three Vietnam era squadron options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicknamed Heinemann's Hot Rod, the compact Skyhawk was cheap, tough and agile. A-4Fs flew from carriers over Vietnam and later equipped the Blue Angels display team. The Skyhawk's small delta wing needed no folding mechanism to fit on carrier lifts, and its light weight made it highly manoeuvrable. A-4F squadrons flew some of the most intense carrier operations of the Vietnam War, and the type remained popular with Navy aggressor and display units long after it left frontline attack squadrons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2019 tooling with crisp airframe detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCockpit with seat, control column and decals for the instrument panel and side consoles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentreline and wing fuel tanks, multiple ejector racks, bombs and missiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre opened holes in the wings for the pylons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree marking options: VA-22, VA-164 and VA-94\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo finish it you will need glue, paints and tools, all sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hobby Boss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53961835249930,"sku":"HBB87255","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/4966\/0938\/files\/5de0bbed8e4de.jpg?v=1792874142","url":"https:\/\/super-models.co.uk\/products\/hobby-boss-a-4f-skyhawk-87255","provider":"SuperModels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
