Marc Toillié (Mark58) has sent in some great pictures of his 1/48 scale Tamiya A-1J Skyraider, depicted on a variety of his bases.

As I've told you earlier, that's really a fine built of the "Iron Beast", Marc! Congrats for that! Hope to see it live somewhere this year.

Happy modelling

Marc, a superb job on the Skyraider! I've thought of building one myself someday, I hope it can approach the job you did on yours. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Russell

Hi Torsten
Thanks for congrats
No doubt that we'll find an opportunity to meet, this Sandy looks fine, and some more SEA projects under way, some new stuf to show then.

Hi Russell
I would just encourage you to build one.The Tamiya kit is excellent out of the box and easy to assemble. The paint job requires some skills but nothing that the average modeller could not handle. It takes some time and patience to cut out masks conforming to the pattern and to aply them properly. The news we get from Tennessee at the moment are not so good due to Mississipi river waters beeing to high. Hope that everything is fine at the place you live.
Marc
