Tamiya 1/48 A-1H Skyraider


Recommended Posts

This is my Skyraider that I finished last night. Not much to say about the kit other than it is a dream to build. Any mistakes (and there are a few...) are created by yours truly. The eagle eyed among you will spot the most obvious one pretty much straight away.

Yes, I like it. Great finish especially like the oil stains on the underside. If I'm brave I'll try and copy your style on to my F-4 GB........

You did a great job on a very important aircraft. A friend of mine was in Viet Nam and got his "Six" out of trouble whenever a "Sandy" was called in for air strikes. This is one of the planes that I find simply amazing because the prototypes were flying at the end of WWII and they could carry nearly as much of a payload as a B-17. NICE BUILD !! Bob

Good job. If it were me, I'd try and refloat or remove that upper wing star and bar and get it the right way up, by hook or by crook!

Trust me I tried. The problem was I didn't notice it until a couple of hours after I'd applied it. And by then it had stuck fast and I didn't want to damage the paint by removing it.

The paint would most likely survive if you were to soften the decal and then lift it with sticky tape. Of course, you'd need a spare...

Mike

I may need to pluck up the courage to do it at some point. I'd need to find a spare though.... :hmmm:
