ZM 1/32 A-1J Skyraider
ZM Skraider built OOB with the exception of some improvements to the Yankee Extraction System and seat. There were also one or two minor tweaks. I still however need to add a scratch 150gal tank for the starboard inner wing pylon but that will have to wait for '23 as I'm done modelling for '22. This was a fairly quick and easy build with no fit issues and painted mostly with AK Real Colors.
That’s a score 10 model Mark, beautifully painted and a very solid build
Thank you Pedro.
A superb result, Mark! Must be quote big in 1/32!
Thanks Spiros, yes the Spad is quite a big bird in 1/32.
Very nice result, Mark @mikekilo
The "remove before flight" signs are a nice addtition.
Thanks John.
Very nice work! Score yourself 50 points for recognizing there are no "frames" in the windshield, the single most-common mistake we all make with Skyraider models (certainly did my share).
Very nice paintwork and realistic weathering.
Thank you Tom. Correct no frames.

Thanks Ben.
A superb build!
Thank you Robert.
That's a great looking Spad Mark.
Thanks Tom.
A fine ending to the year, Mark.
Thanks George.
First time I have seen this one build, Mark (@mikekilo). Well done. Have you put a down payment on the needed shelf space?
Thanks George. Yes some of these 1/32 scale kits take up a fair amount of space, but I only build about 2 a year.
Fantasties gedoen Mark. Welgedaan!
There is nothing more impressive than a Spad dressed up for a Sandy mission deep into enemy territory. Overall this is an impressive build!
Dankie Morne.
A great-looking Spad - well done!
