Monogram 1/48 AD-6 backdated to an AD-3 of VMA 212 in Korea
This started out as OOB build using kit decals. Unfortunately they were toast and did not cooperate when being applied. I used Euro decals for the Skyraider and they were excellent. I scratchbuilt the early AERO bomb racks then added [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Douglas Skyraider VNAF
Hello!
This is my VNAF Spad, a very nice kit from Tamiya. Used some Eduard PE and decals from AOA, since the originals were too old. Cammo was free hand painted (Gunze) and I scratch built a few details, like the wiring to the ejection [...]
Douglas A-1H Skyraider – Tamiya 1/48
Today's first post brings another work I've just put some finishing touches onto. The kit is, of course, Tamiya's venerable 1/48 scale "Bumble-Bee boxing". I chose to build this out of the box, as I liked the look of the VA-52 [...]
1/48th AMT AD-4W Skyraider

ESCI A-1H Skyraider 1:48
Well, there I was, 6 weeks into a really bad case of cabin fever. I was waiting for some add-ons for a Lorna that I wanted to build for the WW2 Japanese group, and I was reading a book on the Skyraider in Vietnam. Of course, I decided to [...]
skyraider 1/48
this kit is from tamiya, as always they did a big job. The details are really great but without riveting. A pilot is included in the kit, but I only keep the pilot helmet. Hope you will like the weathering on it and the whole result too. [...]
Tamiyas Skyraider- I had to switch to the reserve tank to get her home.
This was one of those builds where she ended up spending a few weeks in near solitary, staring at me from the workbench with worrying eyes as i left her unfinished and slowly gathering dust. A few days ago i looked at her sternly, flipped [...]
Skyraider AEW 1 – Tamiya/ESCI kitbash
Done back in 2004:
One of the lessons the U.S. Navy learned during the Second World War as a result of the Kamikaze campaign was that there was no such thing as too early a warning of an incoming attack. The further away from the fleet [...]
