Daniel Leduc Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Here is my first in many way, my first post of a finish model and my first prop...and got 2sd place at Ajax last year. An out of the box construction and a very easy one, did it with Model Master paint and Tamiya clear can. The decal are from Flying Leatherneck, very thin and went very well, for the wash I used a Flory Model's mix of 50/50 dark dirt and white, also Vallejo pigment and AK fuel and engine oil stain. I was about to start another Mud mover for the Vietnam group build but will most probably go with an F-4J Barbecue style Hope you like it, will post other plane I did shortly, now that I know how to.

scvrobeson Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 That is a nice looking Skyraider. I like them in blue much better. The base also adds another dimension for the kit Matt Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Roof Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Freakin' sweet Dan! You know, I catch a lot of crap for not finishing kits that I start. However, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing something I created on someone else's completed model. The images above are what makes this all worth it. Thank you!

Daniel Leduc Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) You got that right John, The scary parts it's when you lighten your panel ounce on the clear before decals, you always think that was too much until at last you put your flat coat....
