Hasegawa produces over 1000 different models which cover a wide range of fascinating subjects. These include aircraft, cars, ships and military vehicles in multiple scales. The kit comes with a pilot figure, 12 250-lb. bombs, and 6 500-lb. bombs on three triple ejector racks, plus centerline and underwing fuel tanks. The Navy version represents the markings of the Commander of the Air Group for CVW-21 (USS Hancock) VA-55 'Warhorses,' and features a multi-colored rudder. The Skyhawk first flew on June 22, 1954. Intended to fill the U.S. Navy’s need for a jet-powered light attack bomber that could replace the Douglas AD-1 Skyraider, the Skyhawk was a departure from the prevailing bigger is better design trend in naval aviation in the 1950’s, being smaller and more nimble than many of its contemporaries. The brainchild of designer Ed Heinemann, the Skyhawk was designed to meet rigid Navy specifications: 2000 lb. bomb load, maximum speed of 500 mph, and a 460-mile operating radius, at a cost of no more than $1 million each. Upon delivery, it was under budget at $860,000 each, and during October 1955 speed tests it clocked 695 mph; later versions of the Skyhawk could carry over 8,000 lbs. of ordnance. This finely detailed plastic model kit requires assembly and painting.
