1/32 AD-5/A-1E Skyraider, TTModelworks

[waltmert]

I just picked up my 1/48 scale A-1E from TTModelworks here in Houston, TX.

What an awesome kit! I am not a Skyraider guru but I simply love the kit. 100% improvement over the

old Matchbox kit. And it is priced less that what it will cost to buy a Tamiya plus a Matchbox kit to make the E.

Not to mention the weeks worth of work savings.

I am not associated with TTmodelworks what so ever, in fact I just met the guy a the Houston ModelMania show and saw the kit there.

I knew I had to buy one.

Now for sure I will order the 1/32 scale kit as well.

Thai said he would ship mine on the 1st of June. I have emailed him to get that confirmed, but I got no response. As you said, I am confident he will follow up.

I just met him here in Houston and he is a very nice fellow. He is super exited about the project. I know for a fact he had printer problems so the kit production was delayed. I will meet with him again this week and I will express you all's concerns to him.

Again, I have no association with TTmodelworks other than an exited customer that finally got a nice A-1E.

 

Are there any 1/32 scale A-1E decals out there?

None. AoA decals did propose a VNAF sheet, but after Paul Fisher sadly lost his home/business it was shelved, they do have a couple of single seat VNAF sheets available which might get you most of the way...

Are you going to have these at the IPMS Nationals?

How are the clear parts?    I've always wanted an A-1E but for me, the total lack of decals is probably a deal breaker.   Any USAF SEA A-1E I would want to build can't be cobbled together from scrap decals.

What total lack of decals? This is TTmodelworks, NOT Dodo Products

Mike, I paid € 182,90 including shipping. It's my all-time favorite prop pane, I just had to buy it.

Decals are included.

I was going off the post above but that said, the sheet included doesn’t have any subject that interests me.    Not a slag on your product, just my own preference.       Any pics out there showing the assembled canopy?   Really curious how that looks built up.
