Aigore 893 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hi again, more old sins nothing says dirty like a Skyraider and the Tamyia A-1 is a fantastic kit OOB, only additions I did was the gunbarrels and scratched that little whip antenna by the cockpit. Of course it's freehand painted with my trusted Lifecolor acrylics and then I just went bananas with the weathering and had a real blast! enjoy the multitude of photos of it Cheers! 59 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bangor Lad 984 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Great finish you've achieved. The weathering is excellent and the oil leaks under the cowling are very good. Link to post Share on other sites
jackroadkill 1,205 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 How cool is that? Very cool, I love it. I love thuggish mud movers, and that's one of the archetypes. Link to post Share on other sites

Booty003 2,839 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 That is a fine looking and heavily used Spad, looks like you have had a blast with the weathering! I am very tempted to pick one of these up - they look superb and for not a lot of money too, such a shame that 48 isn't my scale. Link to post Share on other sites

Tiger331 1,530 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 SUPERB ! I love these 1940/50s throwbacks that operated over Vietnam and Laos. You have really captured the essence of the USAF slow mud mover with this model. Well Done, Sir ! Link to post Share on other sites

Rich G 338 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 If there was ever one perfect model to test your weathering skills on a Skyraider is it! It's a superb looking model, congratulations on the end result I think you've done a great job. Rich Link to post Share on other sites

jimmyg352 127 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Your A6 was awesome Jan. So is this Spad! I've got the same one to do, I had the old Monogram one which took me about 12 years to finish (had a break from modelling) Don't hold your breath to see mine! Link to post Share on other sites
