Wow, superb work. I really like your work -- it's something I would love to emulate. Great photographs, too ( Too many talented peeps on board with great work ruined by really bad photographs..it's a shame).

Please fix your post. The images are not inline with your post.

Really nicely done. The detailing on the engine and engine area is outstanding, as well as the folding wings. Paint, decaling, & weathering all work together quite well. As for your diorama, it's simple, yet very effective.

A whip antenna can be made from sprue or some people that I know use discarded pet whiskers. As they occasionally fall out, they can be used on the model. They have a natural curve that usually works well.

One thinbg I'm curious about is the flat bar behind the main gear. I'm geting ready to do a couple A-1s and both the Monogram and Tamiya kit have that. I'm assumingthat it just retracts as the gear comes up but so far I haven't found anything on this. Of all the A.F. aircraft I have seen during my time, this is one of the few that I never got a chance to get a good look at.

Wonderful job! I'm envious. Dad worked on those in the Navy. Based on what he said about those Curtis radial engines, you may need a little more gunk on the ground below. He loved the airplane, but oh how he hated those Curtis engines!

Beautiful work! :salute:
