That is looking great so far. I like the pre shading, I think that really works well on a workhorse aircraft like the Skyraider.

looking forward to this one. I like the Skyraider a lot!

Geeze Paul! :wow:
It's up to you how much money you want to spend and how many new words you want to create "correcting" something.

I had to get this far at least. the difficultistest part so far was the NMF ring around the cowl. a bit more masking and touch up paint,especially underneath, is due. So far I am pretty pleased on how this has turned out.
I cant get to the decal sheet right now so that will have to be a surprise. As far as ordnance goes, I hate ordnance ever since I was humping bombs and missiles during the 1st PG war.

So no ordnance? That can not be, a Skyraider without a full load of bombs is like a pretty girl without a nose!



Or maybe it is returning from a mission. You should not be all bombed up when returning.

Your SPAD already looks great, but the drop tanks are a piece of art! Curious what kind of markings this one will get!
