corsaircorp Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hello Dears, I did'nt forget the A-1H Since it's a late aircraft, the lateral airbrakes are not installed. Soooo A little bit more of filling and sanding !! Then I'll finish the interior of the AD-4N and button her up ! And it will be time for engraving !! Using the Tamiya as a Template !! There are plenty of avantages in doing 2 différents kits of the same (Almost) aircraft Ok Today, I did one month without smoking !! I hope that I'll keep it up a bit longer than 6 months !! Have a great modelling time and take care ! Sincerely. CC 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hello Dears, I was searching for the right cluster bomb to match the original photo... I was about sure that I gor it but Where... Then I remember my old Hasegawa Weapons boxes…. All right ! Now I'm glad, I will finish it one day, since I also got some MER and TER... Plus all the missiles... Have a great modelling time ! Just one question... What is meaning of the K in a sentence like, He's earning a £23K.... or she has a debt of £55K... That's worrying me when I did'nt understand Something… Thank you beforehand ! Sincerely. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f111guru Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Here are a few to tease, from the internet. Well anyway, I received the Trumpeter AD-7 and have ordered an AD-4 just to see if there are any differences between the two. My plan is and have started drawing up bulkheads to convert to and AEW-1 or AD-4W Guppy in 1/32nd scale. I did a very long time (1981) ago converted the Monogram kit to an AEW-1. With the help of the British Aviation Research Groups A History Of The Douglas Skyraider AEW.1 book. Press on CC with your build. It's coming along quite well . Your doing a wonderful job on your creations. Ron VanDerwarker 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f111guru Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 CC, K as for my children means okay. Must be the new language. Though not the way I was taught. Not sure what type of CBU your looking for. If the CBU as in CBU-58 or the training dispenser SU-30 as the picture here I loaded quite a few of these during my time on the F-4 and F-111. It used a electric fuze underneath the nose dome in this picture and as on the F-4 most of the time we loaded this Have a few others and the one picture in my previous post shows a CBU on each inboard pylon. Happy Modelling Ron VanDerwarker 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorthand for thousand, CC. So a debt of £55k is a debt of £55,000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Hello Dears !! Let's start another mumbling session ??? I compared the 2 Spad and everything looked right, I place the side doors, erased the armour on the Monogram one But still Something was itchy for me... I found where the problem was lying...🤬🤬 Raaaaahhhhh !!!! Ok I will let it that way and consider it's good ! Second thought, is this that worse ??? Ies !! It is 🤬 I'll comply to the rules of BM, but can you Believe me if I told you that even my dog has learned new words ???? I can't repeat it here but it was epic !! Once again, I told myself that I will not correct it. Then I look at the fuel tanks, I really Don't care since I will not use it but…. The Tamiya one is above, they surely did some 1/72 fuel tanks for a 1/48 Spad…. But there is more fun !! The rear U/C leg is right compared to the Tamiya one…. But the Wheel…. Ok I will correct the Wheel, easy peasy lemon squeezy !! Then I paid a look to the exhaust stacks... Cleaning and drilling, that will look far better that way !! And then, Now you know me, I fell again... On we go with that same job !! The Korean war Spad will take a bit longer to make it to the RFI How many Monogram Spad did I have in my attic ??? May be take a mould… I'll see !! Okay Chaps !! have a great modelling time and take care Winter is here !! Sincerely. CC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f111guru Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 CC, I can tell you I had not used the Monogram molded on fuel tanks. I did use a A-4 Skyhawks tank modified to fit the centerline of the second AD I built. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth are still waiting to be finished. Well children came along, military retirement and then grandchildren all aided to set aside my modelling. Now I finishing the large storage building to move my hobby there. Hoping to start up again this summer. As for how many Skyraiders I have, last count 27. ESCI, Monogram, Tamiya, and Matchbox in 48th scale. Testors Italeri in 72nd scale and now the newest Trumpeter in 32nd scale. Ron VanDerwarker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hello Ron ! I have just another monogram one ! So, no moulds, it's not relevant in this case, Then I have 2 Esci, 2 Matchbox and 2 Tamiya !! In fact My memory was fading about the ordnance What I was looking for was this Vicious little feind The AD-6 was surely bound to bomb a "Truck park" More to come soon !! Sincerely.

f111guru Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I'm really liking the cowl mod. Is it still going to mount the same? Makes you wonder what drivers are doing while driving. Texting sleeping thinking they have a self driven car. What a gas, love the picture. Great work on both skyraiders Ron VanDerwarker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work on both skyraiders Ron VanDerwarker Obviously not, but I'll see what to do then ! The fact is the fuselage look right on the plan, but the engine cowling is undersized. Now thanks to the inner cooling flaps the engine is barely visible, so I will not change it. But I foresee some works on the rear cooling flaps….🤔 Whatever, they are not right !! So !! As I'm working on the roadside, I saw incredible things…. But God has his hands full in saving stupid peoples Sincerely. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
