Hi Guys,

Here is the excellent Tamiya 1/48 A-1H decaled, I am working on the weapon loads now, and tomorrow will be starting the weathering, THE FUN REALLY BEGIN!

That is a real beauty SS-74, (although I hate to use the word in connection with the Skyraider). The whole thing looks flawless. I hope you will post pictures after the weathering.

Very nice indeed!

Looks great Dave, can't wait to see this beast finished.
Looks like you have a litle spray that got away at the back of the canopy, could just be the photo or my poor eyesight.
Looking forward to seeing this Baby loaded up !!!

Very cool. What are you going to load it with, ord-wise?

good stuff there dave !!! can't wait to see the finished product

Very Nice Dave!! I can't believe you painted the pilot?! What's next...figures? Diorama's?? GO wild with the oil and exhaust stains.

Dave, very nice stuff. I think you are trying to slowly become a dedicated aircraft modeler. You certainly have the talent.

The skyraider is another plane I want to eventually model.

"Lord Majestic"

Three things come to mind after seeing these pics, wow, wow, and WOW!!!

You've got this aircraft business down pat Dave. Very good work,--- just flawless.

Oh by the way:

M-arvelous paint job
A-wesome Bird!
J-ust outstanding construction
E-verything looks clean and tight
S-o many kits, so little time
T-ong is a Modeler of Da Month (and deserves it)
I-t's really an impressive build
C-an't wait to see this pig loaded up and weathered.

Good Stuff Dave.

:-) Great job, as usual Dave. This will be my entry in the wings over water campaign. :-)
Just one question, how did you paint the natural metal lip on the engine cowl?
Mal

nice plane Dave. Looks impressive with the decals on. :-)

Dave, do you ever go outside, work on your house, eat, sleep, etc? Weekly you post pictures of these outstanding models and I struggle to get one done in time for a campaign deadline. Truly outstanding work, as always. You the man.

Hi there

Lovely looking SPAD! :-) Can't wait to see the exhaust stains ...

Trouble is, I was going to try a Skyraider for the Marine campaign! What with your beauty and Holdfast's planned bird, I'll definitely have to scrap that plan... :-)

Please tell me you're not planning to build a D.H. Sea Hornet!

Fantastic job!!

All the best

Rowan

Go gently on the weathering.It would be a shame to cover all that neat assembly.

Darn awesome!! Don't do too much weathering... it looks great the way it is! And the detailing is awesome, too!

Very nice work Dave. Looks wonderful. Nice and clean looking. Do you use gloss or flat paint?

Reminds me of the armor kits that once blossomed under the delicate care of your skilled fingers.... Will we ever see them again?

(++)

Nice one dave. Lovely clean and impressive bird.
There used to be aguy wiith the same name who built armor .... do you know him? (++)

yeah dave nice plane

is it a snap fit kit

and was the decals already on it I bet they was :-)


hahahaha j/k nice decalling

Dave:
She is a beauty indeed very very nice job. Now your mission should you chose to accept is to load that beautiful bird to the gills.
Can't wait to see the load you have reserved for her.
We may have to enlist her as the first bird of the M-12 covert airwing
