1/48 Scale AD-4 Skyraider Model Overview

The Italeri 2697S AD-4 Skyraider kit captures the character of a postwar single engine attacker known for load carrying and endurance. This 1/48 kit is aimed at modellers who prioritise authenticity and surface detail when building a display model. The Skyraider stood out for its slow speed control and ability to carry substantial ordnance, making it suitable for ground support tasks.

More than a hundred Skyraiders served with French forces, particularly in the Algerian period, replacing older trainers like the T-6 Texan in some roles. The parts and instructions in this kit let builders recreate Skyraiders used by a variety of operators, including air arms of former French territories such as Chad and Gabon. Italeri 2697S provides a faithful base for a neat, museum-style model.
