A-4E "Blue Angels" No. 8 airplane, US Navy Tokushima Airbase, 2008 "Dr Nakanishi" (1:72 Scale)

Product Dimensions: 8.0 x 8.0 x 3.7 in. Model History and Information: Bureau Number 151095 was built as an A-4E and delivered in 1964, beginning a long career that ran from US Navy attack squadrons VA-81, VA-83 and VA-106 to a series of Marine Corps units including VMA-223, VMA-211, VMA-311, VMA-131 and VMA-322. It later served with the Navy Fighter Weapons School and composite squadron VC-5 before being struck off charge in 1992 and preserved in Japan. The airframe now stands in Tokushima wearing US Navy Blue Angels colours as the No. 8 aircraft, a display scheme rather than a service one: the team flew the A-4F, and its Skyhawk era had no single-seat number 8.
