1/48 A-3D-2 Skywarrior by Trumpeter: Scale Accuracy

This Trumpeter 1/48 A-3D-2 Skywarrior kit reproduces a key carrier-based bomber with attention to silhouette and surface detail. It is intended for hobbyists who appreciate authentic proportions and a faithful Cold War era replica.

Role in Naval Aviation

The Skywarrior served in long-range strike, reconnaissance and electronic support roles, extending carrier capabilities. The model reflects those operational traits through accurate shaping and scale-appropriate detailing that suit museum-style displays.

Precision Moulding and Fit

Parts are moulded to allow tight joins and clear panel lines at 1/48 scale, making it straightforward to achieve a neat finish. The cockpit and undercarriage include fine elements that reward careful painting and weathering techniques.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Recommended for authenticity
  • Dimensions: Accurate to the original aircraft
It is better suited to modellers who have tackled a few kits previously. The scale and number of small components require steady hands and some experience with trimming and painting.
Aftermarket decals and photo-etch sets are compatible if you prefer extra cockpit detail or alternative markings. Check fit dimensions before ordering any upgrades.
A well lit workspace, fine cutters, sanding sticks and fine brushes will make assembly and finishing easier. Use magnification for small details and a steady surface for painting.
