Dynavector 1/48 Douglas A2D-1 Skyshark- The Skyraiders "Younger Brother"Finished


Recommended Posts

Down to the final fine points. Spent the day going crossed applying The stenciling. Nice fine printed white stencils printed on an equally light coloured sheet.  At times I had to guess even with a lighted magnifying lamp where the carrier film was so I could trim from the paper. Ugh.

I did add the drop tanks and erred in drilling out too many holes for the ordinance. I just followed where the drill marks were. So I used some card stock and made a set of empty pylons and added the pitot tubes. I'll let this dry tonight and spray a gloss lacquer coat to seal everything up, add the rockets and give it a little bit of weathering. Frome there I do believe it will be ready for the RFI.

It's been a interesting journey and surprisingly fast, But then this is a well produced vac. I don't think I'll be this luck on my next Vac build. It will be more :wall:. Thanks everyone for following along and giving comments and help along the way it's been much appreciated.

I will be posting more pictures in the RFI in a few so until next time Stay Safe, Stay healthy.

P.S. 

Here is the RFI
