ITA2788 1:48 Italeri A-1H Skyraider

The Douglas Skyraider was manufactured immediately after War World II. Despite its traditional piston motor, in an age when jets were spreading, the Skyraider had an extraordinary long career. It made its first flight in 1945 and it was retired from service only in 1975. It participated in several conflicts, demonstrating its value in Korea and in Vietnam. Characterized by its low speed maneuverability, it was able to transport impressive war cargoes of over 3,500Kg. Perfect for ground attack missions, it was provided with robust armor to minimize fire damage from the enemy. The Skyraider A-1H, thanks to its powerful 2,700 HP radial engine, was able to reach the max speed of 322 mph and it was able to load an impressive variety of armaments. Further more it was equipped with four 20 mm. guns
