Also this look a bit simple and I know there are some issues with the shape of the fuselage.

I've got two and one was in an unsellable plastic bag w/o decals so I better build it then.

Aftermarket decals from a hopefully usable Carpena decal sheet for a light gull grey VNAF bird

Cockpit done, sort of...

... and just a test of how a V-tailed Skyraider would look like before painting

I read the book a year or so before the movie came out,  the book inspired me to build the revell 1/48 A-6.  It was neat to have the movie come out while I was reading the books in the Jake Grafton series.     I remember seeing these kits in the stores.

 

Looks like you are moving right along with this model. nice work.

I built this a year or two ago as an overall dark sea blue plane.

I used the Cobra Company resin cockpit. It's really a great kit but could use

a bit of sprucing up. The movie was OK, but I read the book first,

the book was TERRIFIC, the movie was just OK. Have fun building

this, it's a great kit minor flaws aside.---John
