The Northrop A-17A was a light attack bomber introduced into the United States Army Air Corps in the late 1930s. It was based on the civilian Gamma type and featured rugged construction, a fixed landing gear, and the ability to carry bomb loads and light armament. The A-17A version was upgraded with retractable landing gear, which improved flight characteristics and increased speed.
The A-17A was primarily deployed for training and bombing practice missions, with limited operational use due to the rapid development of more modern types. Some machines were exported to other countries, including Norway and South America. Nevertheless, the A-17A remains an important milestone in the development of American tactical aviation prior to World War II.
The Special Hobby 1/72 A-17A US Attack Bomber brings a precisely crafted kit with finely detailed fuselage, cockpit, armament and landing gear. Included are decals for the American machines in typical interwar livery. This kit is an ideal choice for modelers interested in the US Air Force prior to entering WWII.
The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
