The Douglas A-1H Skyraider was formerly designated the AD-6. It was a single seat attack aircraft that saw service between the late 1940s and the mid 1980s. It was operated by the US Navy, US Marine Corps, US Air Force, and and South Vietnamese Air Force among others.
I bought this A-1H on-line because of the tail markings. I was stationed at Udorn Royal Thai Air Force Base. The 602 Special Operations Squadron was stationed there when they were designated 602d Air Commando Squadron, before their 1968 move to Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Navy Base and re-designation as the 602 SOS.
This was a very well built kit. All I did was add some extra detail to the cockpit and small black dots to the gun muzzles.
Yes, the yellow tips on the propeller are correct.
Here it is parked in it's revetment.
