Popular Post russ c Posted May 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2022 Howdy Everyone, just finished another Skyraider so I thought you wouldn`t mind too much if I shared a few photo`s This time a US Navy single seater as I realised I was missing one in the collection after I had a `cull` a while back Built from Tamiya`s 1/48 A-1H boxing Finished to represent an A-1J of VA-165, `The Boomers`, US Navy, circa 1965 As usual, mostly from the box but with a few tweaks. Decals from Caracal Models set CD48196, Zuni Rocket pods on inboard pylons from ICM`s Bronco kit Brake pipes, ignition harness and static wicks from bits of wire, dodgy paper seatbelts and a rear view mirror from thick foil Resisted the temptation to fill every weapon station and gave it a typical load for a Navy RESCAP mission at the time Hope you enjoy the pic`s, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 72 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
