The only model of the
Douglas A2D Skyshark in
6mm scale. The
U.S. Navy needed a fast
attack aircraft capable of operating from small carriers. Technology of the time mandated a turboprop engine. The end of the
Korean War, the phase-out of small carriers, and problems with the
XT40 engine led to cancellation of the
Skyshark, with only twelve were built. The models come two to a set, one with landing gear and folded wings and one with underwing stores.
There is a variant of this model available in our
1/285 range:
Douglas A2D Skyshark (Pair in flight)
The model is also available in other scales and materials:
Frosted Detail (Extreme and Ultra) 1/700Frosted Detail (Extreme and Ultra) 1/600
