RNoAF Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Which decals are you planning to use? Edited January 22, 2016 by RNoAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks for the generosity guys! Looking forward to finally moving ahead on this one!! As for decals, I am leaning more towards the kit supplied US NAVY Swordsmen bird.... still not entirely sure what the final scheme will be! Let's see!! If you have any interesting suggestions please let me know! Cheers Alan sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthumbs Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) ...If you have any interesting suggestions please let me know! Cheers Alan Let's see...there's that rare VA-176 scheme, you know the one with the bumble bee...http://skyraider.org/skyassn/gann.htm All kidding aside, I actually like the "stinger" look on the Skyraider. Whatever markings you choose Alan, the finished model is sure to be impressive, given the subject and your talent at the workbench.

alaninaustria Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Where does time go??? Finally some time to get the wing cannon test fitted (using MASTER machined brass cannon originally designed for the ZM A-1A), and the generously donated cowl flaps! I decided to get the exterior wings mounted to check fit!! She is a very slow build.... but a very rewarding build! Standby for more!!

alaninaustria Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Well, another short update: Finally was able to mate the ZM outer tyres to the Trumpeter inner hubs!! I do not like using rubber tyres - it's just not for me! One side down - the other to go!! I used normal thin white styrene sheet cut into thin ribbons to wrap around and inside the tyres/hubs to build up the slight difference in diameter. The hubs tend to be slightly smaller in out diameter compared to the inner diameter of the tyres! Lots of sanding, measuring, cutting and gluing!! The cannons have finally been measured, and a small diameter port has been drilled into the ends of the small white styrene stubs to accept the barrels later when the cannon are mounted in the wing fold area and the final painting has been completed!

alaninaustria Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Got some primer on the gear legs!! I built up a few details such as the tie-down rings etc and next up will be the cannons in primer! Cheers Alan sandokan and blackbetty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 i searched for these barrels, are they part of the ZM kit? couldnt find tehm on the master site nice work btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hi bro! Yes, these barrels are the ZM ones made by Master. You need to modify the receiver housing such as I have done to use them with the Trumpeter parts. Cheers Alan Ps: I ordered them from Radu's store!

blackbetty Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 uh, oh 22€ is a bit much for a set of barrels since you use the barrels with the flash supressors on your build, would you sell the other four? thanx buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Sure, I won't be using them. Drop me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
