TimW Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm in. Going to build mine as an AD-3 stationed at K-3 Airbase (Pohang), 1952. I'm mixing the AD-4 and AD-7 kits to get what I need, plus some AM bits.

LSP_Paul Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Welcome to the Group Build Tim! Looking forward to seeing your pictures and watching your progress. I was hoping we'd have at least ONE Skyraider! Now my Marine Panther wont feel so lonely All the best to you and your build, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Some progress. I added Eduard PE bits to jazz up the engine. Never have understood why so many kits just leave out the ignition harness stuff. Cockpit. This is a bit dark. Will have to take some more pix. This is the Aires replacement for the AD-4 plus some Eduard pre-colored instruments stuff integrated into it.

Girlscanplay2 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Looking great Tim!! Nice progress! Teresa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Got the fuselage together. (Pix shortly). Was having a really bad time with the instrument panel and shroud...had to get creative with putty but I think it'll work in the end. Not sure what I did...probably trimmed away too much resin and plastic. Not that THAT ever happens! Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks! Fuselage is together now along with the horizontal stabilizers. Working on the wings/wheel wells. Will take some pix shortly and get them up here. Bought two bottles of Dark Sea Blue. I don't think one will be enough! Tim W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Sheesh. Not much progress. Between Boy Scouts, errands, and reenactments my time has been somewhat constrained. Hope to make more progress this weekend! Tim W. Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
