MATPK-101 - Matchbox 1/72 A-7D Corsair II - WWHP111719

Preowned, Resealed, Mint

The A-7D was the US Air Force's land-based version of the Navy's Corsair II attack jet, swapping to the Allison TF41 (a licensed Rolls-Royce Spey) and adding an internal M61 cannon. Rushed to Southeast Asia in 1972, it flew strike and Sandy rescue-escort missions in the war's final year and went on to long Air National Guard service.

This is the original 1973 Matchbox tooling from the PK range's launch year, made in England by Lesney, in the window box with the signature multi-colour "3 Colour Kit" plastic visible through the panel.
