Trumpeter 1/48 A-3D-2 Skywarrior: Naval Bomber in Scale

The Trumpeter 1/48 scale A-3D-2 Skywarrior model kit recreates the heavy carrier-based bomber that played key roles during the Cold War. The kit captures the aircrafts distinctive lines and is aimed at collectors who prioritise historical accuracy and display impact.

Operational Role and Display Appeal

The A-3D-2 Skywarrior extended naval reach through bombing, reconnaissance and electronic warfare duties. This model reflects the aircrafts proportions and surface detail so finished builds present well in a shelf display or themed diorama focused on Cold War aviation.

Build Quality and Detail

Trumpeter supplies precision-moulded components and cockpit detail at 1/48 scale, giving modellers the chance to refine fit and finish. Landing gear, panel lines and surface features are designed for accurate assembly, and careful painting will yield a realistic replica.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Recommended for authenticity
  • Dimensions: Accurate to the original aircraft
This kit suits builders with some experience due to small parts and detailed assemblies. Expect careful trimming, test fitting and precise painting for the best result.
Use plastic model cement for seams and cyanoacrylate for small joins. Acrylic or enamel hobby paints with a good primer will help bring out panel lines and surface detail.
The instructions show the correct placements for landing gear and doors. With patient assembly you can present the Skywarrior either in a parked stance or configured to appear in flight, depending on your display preference.
