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

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!
