Eduard 48793 A3D-2 exterior TRUMPETER 1/48 – Photo-etched parts for the A3D-2 Skywarrior model, scale 1:48

The Eduard 48793 A3D-2 exterior set is a high-quality modelling accessory designed for detailed extra enhancement of the external elements of the Trumpeter A3D-2 Skywarrior plastic model in 1:48 scale. The set was created by the renowned Czech manufacturer Eduard, known for their precise and detail-rich photo-etched sets for aircraft models.

The A3D-2 Skywarrior was an American Navy bomber aircraft designed by the Douglas Aircraft Company. It was operated by the US Navy during the Cold War period, from the late 1950s up through the 1970s. This heavy bomber was primarily used on Forrestal-class aircraft carriers, serving as a strategic bomber and, over time, also as a reconnaissance and aerial refueling aircraft. It was involved in numerous operations, including during the Vietnam War.

Eduard 48793 is a set dedicated to the Trumpeter A3D-2 model in 1/48 scale, which allows you to enhance details such as:

• landing gear elements and wheel bays,
• surface details of the wings and stabilizers,
• covers, flaps, and air inlets,
• antenna and various maintenance panels,
• external infrastructure related to armament and hardware equipment.

The photo-etched parts are made from high-quality brass sheet, ensuring precision and durability, and their installation enables a highly realistic replication of the original design. The product does not include the model – it is an aftermarket update set that meets professional modelling standards. Assembly requires the use of appropriate tools and metal adhesive.

Recommended for advanced and intermediate modelers (difficulty level: 4/5) who want to upgrade their model to a collector's standard. The set significantly increases the number of details and allows for accurate replication of elements that cannot be achieved using only plastic parts. An excellent choice for military aviation enthusiasts, especially those interested in the US Navy and the Cold War era.
