gunpowder17 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Usually i build models so that i can sell them on built up to pay for the next one. This one is a keeper! I love it. Its Trumpeters 1/32 A-1J. It has been built straight from the box with no faffing. I seem to have gone off weathering too. Im happy with just exhaust streaks. It is what it is , a plastic model. Great build with no problems at all. Im so impressed i am just starting a Trumpeter 1/32 A-1H , which again will be straight from the box but with gun bays open , engine shutters closed but cowling open and wings folded. I havent put the seat in this one yet , i will leave that for another day. I was too lazy to mask the camo so i just airbrushed it freehand.

sean Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Nice paint job, looks really good, but why no markings on the fuselage? Is it supposed to be like that? Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjames68 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 beauty, one of my all time fave kits the Trumpy Skyraider, you've definately done it justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder17 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 I tried building the ZM one a while back , but it just frustrated me. Too many gimmicks , too fiddly and I dont think it was molded as well as the trumpeter one. I cant comment on accuracy but the Trumpeter one is a more relaxing build.

Knight_Flyer Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Very nice build. I think the Skyraider looks quite good in a SEA camo scheme. I have seen pics of the real aircraft without the fuselage insignia and don't know the reason either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I've just now seen this one - very nice job on the Special Ops Spad! Markings were kept to a minimum on the SO aircraft - I guess so if they were shot down the Communist wouldn't know they were American! I suppose the dead American in the pilot's seat wouldn't be a giveaway. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-42 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 CIA had some Herc's built with no serial numbers on anything, just so they could deny they were American. Seriously. Maintainence was a nightmare. You can't make this stuff up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
