Quite Possibly the Most Beautiful Attacker Aircraft in my Opinion

Introducing the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk

This is the third installment of my new LPS series of aircraft

So what is LPS? You may be asking yourself. Well LPS a.k.a Low Part Spam  is a series of aircraft that I will be making that have low part counts   and look neat. I will mainly be making replicas of realistic aircraft and this series is very original and definitely not stolen ;). Lets just say I just took inspiration from other similar series.

Douglas A-4 Description

The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is a single-seat subsonic carrier-capable light attack aircraft developed for the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps in the early 1950s. The delta-winged, single turbojet engined Skyhawk was designed and produced by Douglas Aircraft Company, and later by McDonnell Douglas. It was originally designated A4D under the U.S. Navy's pre-1962 designation system.

The Skyhawk is a relatively light aircraft, with a maximum takeoff weight of 24,500 pounds (11,100 kg), and has a top speed of 670 miles per hour (1,080 km/h). The aircraft's five hardpoints support a variety of missiles, bombs, and other munitions. It is capable of carrying a bomb load equivalent to that of a World War II–era Boeing B-17 bomber, and can deliver nuclear weapons using a low-altitude bombing system and a "loft" delivery technique. The A-4 was originally powered by the Wright J65 turbojet engine; from the A-4E onwards, the Pratt & Whitney J52 engine was used.
