The USAF Skyraider model is a handmade sculpture, made of mahogany wood. Each is carved, joined and sanded by hand. The deep rich finish that distinguishes these models from all others is created when the artist hand paints all of the details onto each piece. No decals are used.
 
This fine hand crafted aircraft model requires little special care. We recommend you keep the wood model out of direct sun light and away from sources of heat or cold. Dust with a soft cloth, do not use paper products.

The Douglas A-1 (formerly AD) Skyraider was an American single-seat attack bomber of the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. A propeller-driven anachronism in the jet age, nicknamed the "Spad" during the Vietnam War, a throwback from the WWI French pursuit plane the Skyraider had a remarkably long and successful career well into the space age, and inspired a straight-winged, slow-flying, jet-powered successor which is still in front line service today, the A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog).
It was operated by the United States Navy (USN), the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and the United States Air Force (USAF), and also saw service with the British Royal Navy, the French Air Force, and the Air Force of the Republic of Vietnam (VNAF), among others.
