I built this Tamyia model when I was a kid. I had never heard about the Skyraider before and that's when I fell in love with it : Radia piston-engined, multi purpose, carrier based mule of the jet age, used to drop high explosive ordinance on jungle guerilla fighters ? I want !

Cheers

I would love to have the AD-1 Skyraider to blow up some stuff with during the Inavasion of Japan too.

Don't forget it's one of the few planes who were capable to drop nukes too.

Not debating the accuracy of this ... but wouldn't this plane fly too slow and too low to escape the blast of a nuke?

The AD-4B was modified to carry nuclear weapons and deploy them using the toss-bombing or over-the-shoulder techniques. It was supposedly capable, but it was never tested and proved to be a political tool more than anything giving the Navy's carrier fleet nuclear abilities. It could carry a Mark 7, Mark 8, or Mark 91 nuclear bomb. See the link below for more info.

It maybe flew about 3000ft lower and a bit slower that a B-29, but maybe they would have dropped it "retarded" with a drag chute?
