Hello People,

Thanks for the nice comment and encouragement. To answer a few questions.

1. Yes Porky I had some over spray there. Hopefully the canopy would cover it.

2. Lord HoldFast, I free hand the bare metal lip, if you looked closely, they are not perfect, with some place has over spray, but I try not to show it in the pics... LOL.

3. Lord Zero, yes, this is the limited release tamiya Snap fit pre-painted Raider. Good that you spotted it.

4. As for the weapon Load, I am thinking about the following:

2 x napalms (scratch built from drop tank)
4 x snake eyes with extended fuse
4 x 2.75 inch rocket pods
4 x 5 inch rockets.

So what you think? Should I replace the napalms with gun pods?

Thank you again for your kind words.

Another evil winged thingy Dave? I'm not complaining though. Very nice bird! Can't wait to see her loaded up.

Mr Tong.
I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE A TANK!!!!!!!!!!!! #:-) #:-) #:-) #:-)
Seriuosly that is one nice looking bird you got there.
When ever I do decals they always turn to poo.

But yours look awesome

noooooo no gun pods

napalm
else when people see yr plane you cant stand proud and say

yes men I love the smell of napalm in the morning

wich rocks

and napalm is more humane then guns
you burn 2 dead gun wounds
you can die months later
so NAPALM HOOAH

The gun pods and Nape are a must.. That is what gave this beauty her teeth and made everyone on the ground fear her. the gp's bombs should be optional IMHO.
Besides if you put too many GP bombs on the pylons the may droop to much..
oooops did that word come ou ttoo loud #:-)

Great looking Skyraider, nice clean model!

hi dave

even without weathering you've made a true masterpiece !!

nice work man

I think it sounds like a great ordinance load. Lots of variety! Gun pods are cool, but not at the expense of the napalm.

wow, what a great job! I'm very impressed. I've got 3 or 4 of these birds in the big pile 'o kits to build pile.

I'll have to get busy. Can't wait to see the finished weathering job.
