The Eduard 48851 detail set dedicated to the 1/48 scale A-4E/F model from Hasegawa is an advanced set of accessories, allowing for significant enhancement of the plastic model of the American attack aircraft Douglas A-4E/F Skyhawk. This product is designed for modelers who want to take the realism of their replica to the next level and are looking for authentic Cold War era details. The A-4E/F Skyhawk aircraft were extensively used by the United States (US Navy, US Marine Corps) from the 1960s until the late 1980s, including during the Vietnam War, training operations, and in other conflicts of that period.
