jotter Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I'm starting this all off with a 1/48 Skyraider in Dark Sea Blue... I'll post pic when I figure out how to load pictures on this thing!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jotter Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 okay dumb question but how do I attach photos? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WymanV Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 You'll need a pic hosting site-I use http://imageshack.us/ , but there are quite a few options. Once you've downloaded the pic, enter it with the little image icon in your reply window. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be showing pics all the time :huh: Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spaced Marine Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Another option for photots is www.photobucket.com. Upload the pic, then just copy and past the [/img] address under the pic into your ARC post, and presto! Your pictures are shared. I hope this or the other suggestion helps, and I look forward to seeing your SPAD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jotter Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Okay and here are the build pics: Primed skyraider Painted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Davenport Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I'll be watching this build! I got that same kit as a present from my dad a long time ago and I have one in my stash now that I'd considered for this GB. Justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jotter Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Ahhhh the work continues. Ihad some issues with the gloss coat with orange peeling but got it buffed out and used Future with better results. I used the kit decal and man are they thick!! I'm hoping they conform with a little Solvaset. More pics to follow... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 If you use the {img}image address{/img} tags, then your pics will be displayed within your posts. Like so Just replace the curly brackets with square ones MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spaced Marine Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Looks very, very nice! Is that Tamiya Navy Blue from the spray can? It looks like the color I used on my F9F-2. Either way, its spot on for a overall sea blue plane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlicari Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Looks great. I've got my eye on a few on E-bay right now. Does this kit come with complete underwing stores or just the few things shown on the box? :) Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does this kit come with complete underwing stores or just the few things shown on the box? :lol: Mike It's a great kit and pretty much falls together! It comes with the three tanks an a bunch of the bombs with te elongated fuse necks (I think they're called Daisy Cutters) and some rocket launchers. So pretty much what you see on the box top. One BIG warning...Avoid the decals. They're thick, the glue is dark yellow and very visible and to add insult to serious injury, my "504" cowl numbers crinkled like bacon when I tried to use decal solvent and much like bacon didin't "un-crinkle"!!!

mlicari Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Thanks It's Model Master Dark Sea Blue from a bottle. I lightened it a little with some white and airbrushed it. I wondered about that too. I also use MM Dark Sea Blue, but it always comes out too dark (it almost looks black in some types of lighting). Thanks for the info about what comes in the box. Sorry to hear about your decals! I've generally had good luck with "vintage" Monogram decals, although once in a while they've been bad (like on my 1/72 Bearcat). Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jotter Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) Almost done!!!! Edited July 8, 2007 by jotter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jotter Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) here's a better shot There are a bunch of minor touch ups that I discover only after taking a pic and looking it over ( it's amazing how many goofs you can spot just in a picture of your kit) and I'll have to add the exhaust stains but other then that, she's almost done!!!!
