    This is an excellent looking Skyraider. I'll bet it looks great sitting next to your other Korean War aircraft.

    What all was required to backdate it the the earlier Korean War version ?

  2. Nice job. ADs look best in blue.

  3. Awesome. A nice change from all the grey and whites

  4. Wonderful job, Marcus!

  5. Definitely liking this one, Marcus @mvtb
    You turned this old junkie turned into a beautiful Skyraider.

  6. Great work in bringing this up to scratch.

  7. Great completion, Marcus.
    Looks good in what appears to be your restoration shop.

  8. Nice looking Skyraider!

  9. Nice build - I always thought Skyrauders looked good in Blue!

  10. Nice clean build of this Korean War dump truck! Man - looks like it is fighting for space on the ramp of that aircraft factory you have going there!

  11. Love it. Different and a really nice job. I have the Sword 1:72 AEW version to go with a Fairey Gannet and Shackleton AEW as a series (the Radar sets moved from one to the other) Just got back into modelling after binning it in the late 80s so it’s a learning curve, but an enjoyable one. You have to love the Skyraider, it’s a beast of an aeroplane. A couple of pics of my A1J...Model...what...6 or 7. First attempt at a figure but with these aircraft it gives scale😎❤️
