Beautifully manufactured by the experts at Hobby Master, this amazingly detailed model replicates the A-1H Skyraider flown by Lt. (JG) William “Tom” Patton of the VA-176 “Thunderbolts” – stationed on the carrier USS Intrepid (CVS-11) – when he downed a MiG-17 jet fighter during a RESCAP mission over North Vietnam on October 9, 1966.
