1/48 Tamiya Douglas Skyraider

She is for sure.

This update will start off with a bit of dry brushing to tone down the decals a bit. Once done I moved on to a bit of staining. I wanted to give it a bit of life but not to overdo the effect. My focus was on the nose with just a bit of staining on the wing and main body of the fuselage.

Just a few close ups of the nose.

With this to this point now I can move on to adding some of the little detail parts not yet attached.

Getting so very close.

Landing gear and wheels are on. Little things are ready.

Next up will be the final push. She is so very very close to the finish line.

The Skyraider is finished.

All in all not a bad kit. The decals were rough to be honest but they are on.

Pictures.

Wow ! ;D

Looks superb .
What all is she loaded with under the wings ?

 

[smokeriderdon]

As I said, this is my favorite prop plane. And you did her justice! Not that I expected anything less than a great outcome.

Awesome!

Actually, she turn ed out pretty well.
A LOT of firepower under those wings

 

[fightnjoe]

Many many thanks.

Under the wings are an assortment of what I believe are rocket pods.
