ShaunBD Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 What are the differences between these two Skyraider kits. I know ones comes with Navy decals and the other with USAF but are there any changes with the kit plastic? Shaun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Wenman Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Shaun hi The Navy version comes with the older bucket seat, while the USAF one has a Yankee ejection seat (albeit basic). They also have different weapon sprues, but otherwise the kits are identical HTH Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadwbg Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Could I make an accurate Navy version from the USAF kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChernayaAkula Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Afaik, the Navy came round to installing ejection seats on their SPADs. By the way, I saw a Skyraider in-flight at this year's ILA in Berlin. GREAT SOUND! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShaunBD Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Thanks for the information. I called around a friend house tonight who has the navy kit. It appears that both styles of wheel hubs are inclued in the kit. Shaun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
