Hobby 2000 48032 Douglas A-4C Skyhawk in 1/48 scale is an advanced plastic assembly model based on the renowned Hasegawa sprues. This model represents the American carrier-based attack aircraft Douglas A-4C Skyhawk, which was one of the most important combat aircraft of the United States Navy aviation during the Cold War and the Vietnam War.

The A-4C Skyhawk variant entered service in 1960 as a development of the A-4B version. This aircraft featured an improved avionics system, the ability to carry a larger combat payload, and an enhanced wing design. It was widely used primarily by the United States, but also by allies under the foreign sales program, such as Argentina and Israel. It became most famous for its intensive use in combat over Vietnam (1964–1973), performing bombing missions, air support, and aerial infantry cover roles.
