LSP_Paul Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Well this little beauty showed up in the mail this morning a few days early (Thanks Jack!) From This kit I will be building a USAF A-1J From the 1st SOS NKP 1969 She will be marked using Zotz decals for Miss Eileen I have all the parts in the box to do the USAF modifications courtesy of Jack( again) so I'm all set. I'll decide later what else I'm going to put in and on the plane as far as A/M, I'm going to get a good ways into my A-4 build before I get this one going. All the best, Paul Edited September 21, 2014 by LSP_Paul mark31 and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Paul Absolutely going to be a busy place for sure. I'm sure a lot of guys like me, are struggling to finish up current builds so we can join in the festivities. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, putting glue Mike, The "busy" part of this is trying to keep track of and do what moderating I have to do ( thankfully not much with you guys in here) and keep track whats going on with all these great builds! I figured maybe 10-15 folks would show up...I am THRILLED I was wrong. The Skyraider will actually start getting worked on here shortly, but I want to get a bigger chunk of the Skyhawk knocked out first so I'm on "cruise control" with that one before I get buried in it.

I don't mind two at once, it's just got to be comfortable enough to switch between the two. The Skyraider is also HUGE compared to the A-4 so the space requirement also dictates build process.

LSP_Paul Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 The Skyraider is such a cool looking plane Paul, I really look forward to this one! Matt Me too Matt! I hope you're still going to at least get your initial post up before you leave? We'll save a spot for ya! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Paul, I'm stoked for this one as well! Cheers, Tom LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Well Folks, I wasn't going to break into this one until I got a good chunk of Skyhawk done. I am in the finishing stages of that project and wanted to do something I don't normally do. I am putting a pilot in my Skyraider. He's still a WIP but he really looks the part to me, and fills up the cockpit nicely. You will only really see him from the shoulders up, but I did mostly eliminate the molded on G suit from the waist down with MR. Surfacer and sanding. I still may paint his helmet OD, I have seen them painted all kinds of colors in Pics in Skyraiders, but I did his helmet white in case I change my mind. He just needs a bit more blending and he's all done. Next, I will finish the pit details and install the pit and pilot into the body of the plane at the same time. Thanks for looking in on build number two, I'm really looking forward to this one! Paul Harold and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Well that passes the Great Painting test: his eyes seem to follow you round the room.... Neat! Tim LSP_Paul, Uncarina and Harold 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
