VNAF A-1H Skyraider, Tan Son Nhut AB 1966, " Finished "

[Daniel Leduc 994]

Hey everyone, long time no talked,

 

Since I built that baby OOB 4 years ago, I always wanted to do a NAM Raider a bit different

than the usual one we mostly see....

 

 

And had that one stalled in my stash for quite a while....

 

 

And then came AOA came with this sheet........      hummmm, why not peanut..

And most particularly this one...

 

 

Ohhhh YES...... Iron rain you asked, Iron rain you'll get....lol.    

with a touch of heat.....

 

Didn't get all my goodys yet and still have some more to order but want to keep it a very simple,

built and no fancy scratch at all..(anyway, I'm no good at scratching stuff....lol.)

 

Going to use:

• this up mention AOA decal sheet,
• AMS Prop, wheels and Napalm canister,
• Master's barrel and Aerobonus pilot.

More picture than talking I will... wan't to keep the odds in my favor to finish this GB in time..

 

So hope you'll enjoy and will start posting picture soon.

 

Quick and easy, that's my new mojo.

Dan.

Want to do something different with the pit from my first one and most probably going to use either Eduard PE or Aires pit,

haven't made up my mind yet...

 

So did jump on the engine, and should be over this week-end with all the wire..

 

 

Not much to enjoy for now, I'm a bit rusty...

Nice start bro!

[Daniel Leduc 994]

Well, that was quick..... lol.

 

 

Finally decide to go with PE for the pit and a nice Aerobonus pilot....

 

 

Until everything show up in my mail, I'll start working on my load, Mk82 and some Harold Napalm canister....

 

See ya.

Hey thanks everyone, finally decide to stay in, still snowing (too much) 

and a lot warmer in my little shop....

 

So did finished my radial, it came along pretty nicely so far and a shame that the cowling will hide everything..

 

 

And the final assembly, need a little touch of black and rust and it will be done till the paint job.

 

 

Hope you enjoy, happy modelling.

Hey guys,

 

While waiting my goodies, did start my Iron......  with what I think is the easiest way to make that yellow stripes on Mk82.

in few steps....

 

1st. main color..

 

 

a touch of yellow...

 

 

some drying time..

 

 

my main tool, aa air quick connect.....

 

 

drop it..

 

 

hold it

 

 

shoot it...

 

 

there you go...  .

 

 

it's easier and faster when it's secure in a wise..

 

 

that's it, told you, that's my easy way.

 

 

Have fun.

Dan.
