The A Shau Valley, March 10, 1966, Rest in Peace Col Fisher, January 11, 1927 – August 16, 2014
Because of Col Fisher's passing I decided to share with you the story of a model I built and the experience I had because of it. I do not tell this story often, it's not really about me but what a very gentle man from Iowa did for me [...]
1/48 scale Monogram A-1H Skyraider
Hello all! In the hopes of instigating another flash mob group build, I present to you my Monogram A-1H Skyraider that I had finished a couple years ago. I built it for a buddy of mine to represent his uncle's Spad flown over Vietnam. [...]

Hasegawa’s 1/72 A-1H Skyraider, USN Vietnam

AD-6 of VA-165, USS Oriskany, 1962
This was built from the Tamiya kit using AeroMaster decals. Aside from the decals I built this out of the box. I have no idea of who the pilot was or any further history of the airplane. I just liked the scheme. I left it rather clean as I [...]
