Taking to the air this week, we first spot the 1:72 scale Hobby Master A-1H Skyraider VA-25 Fist of the Fleet, USS Midway, 1964 from Internet Hobbies for $49.95.
Replicating an A-1H Skyraider flown off the USS Midway (CVA-41) by Lt. Clint Johnson of VA-25, "The Fist of the Fleet" (the U.S. Navy's last operational Skyraider attack squadron) when he shot down a MIG-17 over North Vietnam on June 20, 1965, this 1/72 scale, die cast Hobby Master model is a real beauty!
