G'day Jim, hmm, could you please tell me a bit about the Italeri kit, the 1/48 A-1H, what are the parts like, dodgy, fit well, fine? what weapons does it come with? Any Napalm?
reason i wanna know about the italeri kit so badly is its about 10 dollars cheaper, which is worth saving if there isnt much difference.
cheers

Go here: A.R. Center , go to 'Search' , put in Skyraider and go to the (big) Greg Buckley Article on the Tamiya A-1H ...Jim

My advice for you is to get either the Revell or Tamiya one. They're a lot better than Italeri Have both Tamiya Skyraiders in the box and the fit is excellent

The A1-J got longer wings and more loadouts. It's fatter and looks more menacing than the Air Force's. Go for it!
