If you like this iconic plane, the paragon of the pistons fighters, a new kit is arriving on the stores right now: it is the Revell in 1/48 scale.
We didn't find any info on the Revell website regarding if the kit is a new tool or an old Matchbox tool.
Here some infos from the website:

Product ID: 85-5327
Skill Level 2
Scale: 1/48
Length: 9-3/4"
Height: 4"
Wingspan: 12-1/2"
Parts: 130

Sheer reliability and massive ordnance capacity kept the piston-powered Skyraiders flying well into the jet-power era. The massive bomb load these planes carried allowed them to deliver millions of pounds of ordnance against ground targets in Korea and Vietnam. AD-5s were Skyraiders built with a tandem seating arrangement to facilitate pilot/co-pilot communication. After decades in action, the Skyraider was retired from American service in 1972. This kit features three seated pilot figures, folding wings with separate flaps, and landing gear you can model retracted or extended.
