Orion Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 The old boxes should not be left on the shelf. This one was build OOB. Price in UK pounds 4,50 Remarkeble for some reasons: 1. American build aircraft in Britisch FAA service in the post war era. 2. Given under MDAP conditions to the UK MOD 3. Used under war conditions in the already named Suez crisis. Regards, Dirk, The Netherlands. 1
DJJunis Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Very , very nice...well done on a "oldie". All the Best! Don
tonyot Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Very nice indeed, looks like the 1/48th scale AMT/Esci kit? Cheers Tony O
Tabio Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Never knew we had Skyraiders, every day's a school day! Lovely model!
Orion Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Indeed, it is the ESCI 1/48 kit. Enjoy. Regards, Dirk Edited January 6, 2013 by Orion
Radalt Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Fine old Skyrader - good job I enjoy working on the ‘Old Kits’ as well.
Alex Gordon Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Dirk dear heart What a splendid way to make your presence known.
jaw Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 were skyraiders done in 1/72? Yes - Magna Models do a 1:72 scale resin RN Skyraider. PM Chris 57 as he can get them/has got them. HTH John
bentwaters81tfw Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Very nice job there. I had one but sold it on, I would not have got round to it so better to pass it to someone who would build it.
miniair Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Mmmm must get my Manga models kit out of the stash
louiex2 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Great job. I, too, had no idea the RN flew Skyraiders. Yet one more role for the Flying Dump truck.
Pat C Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Very nice Skyraider AEW. In 72nd there is also the Aeroclub conversion if you don't want to work with resin (my effort here!! http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65608&hl=skyraider) Pat
pacificmustang Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 great job using an old kit, she looks fantastic Bruce
bunnylurve Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Brit Sky Raiders? Well I never! Super build.
heloman1 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Hi Dirk. Congratulation on your Skyraider build, it looks magnificent, thanks for sharing it. Colin
JMChladek Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) I've got one of these and I've considered kitbashing it with a Tamiya Skyraider just so I can benefit from a little better detailing in spots. But honestly, Esci didn't do a bad job at all with the original kit. Your build looks great BTW! Edited January 7, 2013 by JMChladek
Artie Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Amazing kit.....That's my favourite Skyraider, without any doubt. had an old Esci kit wich I intetded to kitbash with a Tamiya one....Your build is very inspiring,and makes me want to build it right now... Best regards...
