Andrew Patmore Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Looks like a Stoke-on-Trent Crapper special! That is now a collectors item! What a s**t mission. In other news, awsome build. Love the humour, weathering, base and the fact that you put a motor behind the prop. Or was it a hairdryer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This model is equipped with an electric motor, but I did not output power under the stand, as required by the manufacturer. I left the battery inside the model. This limits the service life, but it does not bother me. It won't be a toy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might run them out as brake lines to metal contacts embedded in the tires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider it necessary to turn a stand model into a "toy". It wasn't important to make the propeller more durable than is needed for just a one-time demonstration.

Sharpscale Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Beautiful work, looks a top job. Have been keeping my eyes open for the ZM 1/32 version however this Tamiya one might be a more suitable size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Great work as usual, Fuad! I've seen this subject done several times, but this is the best one. 👍 Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, you could do it on a base, chocked and tied down, with the electrical wires taking the place of the tie down cables! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Fuad, When you come back, you do it in style! Always one of my favorite Spad ordnance loads, too! Nice to see your modeling skills haven’t deteriorated one bit during your. ‘leave of absence!’ Hoping you and yours are safe and well!

AdrianMF Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Lovely Skyraider! Having a loo on the wing and a motorised propeller is a bit risky - you never know what might hit the fan! 🧥🚪 Adrian 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Great model, great story and great responses from the Britmodeler followers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuad Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 By the way, for those who want to build this version of the Skyrider - on this toilet bowl was a "tail" made from real bomb tail welded on the back. Unfortunately, I only found out about this after the build. But as the saying goes: "Actum ne agas". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMRL Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Very impressive, even the toilet bowl has a realistic texture. Great photos as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 It's always good to have a toilet on board, especially on longer flights.... Perfect modellig again, Mr.Fuad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSCHLOM Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Beautiful job! The story behind the Toilet "bomb" is hilarious. It was actually dropped on a Viet Cong position, but nearly took the Spad's horizontal stab off when it was released. It missed the target but a ground FAC said it made a whistling noise before it shattered into a million pieces. The crew and ordinance guys secretly loaded the toilet on to the AD-1 under the nose of the CAG, who thought he saw something odd. The crew and pilot responded with everything is A-OK! 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
