Otaki 1/72 A-4A Skyhawk US Marines plastic model kit

1/72 Otaki A-4A Skyhawk US Marines

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG++

Very, very rare, probably from 1960 or 1961. Early Otaki high-gloss box art kit with no part number and the first logo. Features clear canopy, refueling probe, full landing gear, centerline drop tank, 6 under-wing rockets and marine decals. Molded in dark green and clear. The instructions list it as an A-4A, which it may well be. The kit has never been started. Inside, it is factory-fresh with all parts still sealed in the original clear bag with the decals and with instructions in great condition. Even the original tube of glue is included. Please note, this kit is normally listed as 1/72, so I have listed it as such. By the wingspan, it is 1/78 scale. Otaki was started by Mr. Masaru Otaki in 1960, which is the same year that Tamiya went into business. Early Otaki kits have this unique logo and no part number; many are so rare that they are not documented yet. Otaki was only around for two decades, going out of business in 1980 due to financial difficulties.
