Product description
Here we are a year later and the 1/32 A-1J Skyraider has been released, and as you would expect, this release is essentially the A-1H kit with one new parts tree, one new decal sheet, and a supplemental instruction booklet describing the differences in assembly between this release and the original A-1H kit. The original A-1H instruction book is also provided. The images to the right are from the A-1H review except for the new parts tree at the bottom. In this new release, all of the parts trees are molded in light gray styrene instead of the different colors rendered in the first release.

Both instruction books are printed to resemble the NATOPS flight manuals for the A-1H and A-1J though they are entitled ZATOPS Modeling Manual. The instruction books are well-illustrated with color photos and CAD drawings with text printed in Japanese and English. A correction sheet is also included to correct some parts identification errors from their original A-1H release.
