tamiya A1-H skyraider 1/48

Post by Omi »

hello all,
i would like to introduce you too a kit i was going to enter into the bomber gb, but after asking it turns out the skyraider was not a dedicated bomber, so i started researching and this plane was one of the work horse's of the vietnam war, fighter, bomber , recon and well respected by it's pilots and crew. it did have a tendancy to catch fire when it started up but if your getting shot at all day this is not a biggy. :tongue:

the kit, just the standard tamiya quality we all know, but i did find some issues with the fit in the nose area but nothing major.

i used the color scheme for the intrepid with what i think is some of the best decals for this plane and im well happy with the results.
im still might make a base for this with it possed on the carrier deck but we will see.


see what you think!

Really lovely Omi, I've nearly bought this kit twice now. Mine wouldn't look anything like yours....
Yes.. It is supposed to look like that!

Thanks for moving the post sir,
As for the grey I used Vallejo light grey (990) and I used Vallejo grey primer with pre shading, dark grey.I used Vallejo off White for the underside and misted a mix on the top side for some sun bleaching.
Thanks for the comments chaps.
