klimmer Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 (edited) Hi Guys, This will be my entry in the build. 1/48 Tamiya Skyraider (Sandy) you have got to love the 3 tone camo scheme. I just hope that I can do it justice. I have done some work on the cockpit and engine. I am planning on giving her a full load out. I hope you like it so far Cheers Ted Edited October 19, 2006 by klimmer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

klimmer Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Hi Guys, Well after taking a long time to complete my "Fort" for the Heavies GB I have gotten back to my Skyraider. I just hope I have enough time to finish it. Here is a small update. I have it mainly put together, and getting it ready for the paint shop. I finally got enough nerve to try giving the gear bay, doors and strut a wash of burnt umber, I think it came out fairly well. What do you guys think? Still working on some the ordanance load that it will have. As always comments good and bad are welcomed. Ted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
klimmer Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Here we go guys. I finally got her finished with the help of a lot of the tips that I have found on this site. I think this is the best I have produced to date. This is the first build that I actually used a post shade on the panel lines and a wash in the gear bays. I think it came out looking decent. This was a great group build. I would like to thank the mod's for runnning a great GB. Ted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BadCop Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Looks Great!!!! I've just about got mine done, and just need to finish the props, antennae and ordnance. It's a great kit and a trouble free build for me (at last!!!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
klimmer Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thanks Badcop. I totally agree with you, this kit is great. I had no problems with it, other than figuring out how to mount the gun pod. Absolutely no filler required anywhere on the entire kit. I still haven't mastered the antenae yet, so I left it off for now. Ted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
