Zigi Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hi, this is my next model: Douglas A-1J Skyraider - Tamiya 1/48 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Wenman Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Zigi hi Looking good so far. For a more authentic USAF Spad you might want to add the canvas cover over the canopy hydraulic arm and the whip aerial (which is shown on the Tamiya box art, but not included in the kit) as the build progresses. I'll watch this one with interest, can't beat a good SEA Skyraider. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hajo L. Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Which colour will you use on the drop-tanks? One reason for me to wait with finishing my 1/72 Spad is that I don´t know which colour to paint the drop-tanks since the rest of the aircraft-belly is black.

otis252 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Zigi, Love those Spads! We don't build enough of those great planes. I've got two USMC Korean war versions on the work bench now. Yours makes me want to get back to work on them. Great job and let's see some more. Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
