Douglas AD-5W Skyraider Attack Aircraft Model Kit Scale 1:72 A&A Models AAM7228

Douglas AD-5W Skyraider aircraft model kit in 1:72 scale represents a specialized airborne early warning variant of the famous American Skyraider, developed for carrier-based operations during the early Cold War.

The AD-5W Skyraider was designed as an AEW (Airborne Early Warning) aircraft rather than a conventional attack platform. It featured a widened fuselage, expanded crew accommodation, and a large ventral radar radome used for fleet air defense and early warning missions.

Douglas AD-5W Skyraider – Airborne Early Warning Aircraft

The AD-5W entered service with the United States Navy in the 1950s and was later redesignated EA-1E. Operating from aircraft carriers, the aircraft provided radar coverage and early warning capability for naval task forces during the Cold War and the early stages of the Vietnam War.

This plastic model kit by A&A Models accurately represents the distinctive configuration of the AD-5W Skyraider, including its characteristic radar installation, making it suitable for builders interested in naval aviation and specialized mission aircraft.

The kit belongs to the Aircraft Model Kits category and is produced in 1:72 scale, allowing it to be displayed alongside other Cold War-era carrier aircraft models.
