Outlet 👏 A-4F Skyhawk Attack Aircraft 1/32 Trumpeter 🧨

The A-4 Skyhawk was designed in response to a U.S. Navy call for a jet-powered attack aircraft to replace the older A-1 Skyraider. Douglas opted for a design that would minimize its size, weight, and complexity. The result was an aircraft that weighed only half of the Navy’s weight specification. It had a wing so compact that it did not need to be folded for carrier stowage. The A-4F refinement of A-4E featured extra avionics housed in a hump on the fuselage spine (this feature later retrofitted to A-4Es and some A-4Cs) and a more powerful J52-P-8A engine with 9,300 lbf (41 kN) of thrust. In total, 147 were built, and some of them served with the Blue Angels acrobatic team from 1973 to 1986.
