The Douglas A3D Skywarrior was one of the most important carrier-based bomber aircraft of the United States Navy, operating during the Cold War period. Its maiden flight took place in 1952, and operational units entered service in the mid-1950s. The aircraft was used, among other roles, during the Vietnam War as a strategic bomber, reconnaissance plane, tanker, and in electronic warfare. The early versions (A3D-1, A3D-2) were equipped with a characteristic tail turret with gun armament, which is faithfully reproduced in the Quickboost QB72205 set.

The product is made from precisely cast resin components that surpass the details of basic plastic kit parts.
