A-1K Skyraider, -Desert Storm- USMC ***FINISHED, Pg. 9***

The camo came out real well, looks better on a plane than on fabric Also like the slightly darker and more contrasting colours than in the fabric version. High-visibility markings are a nice touch too (though with low-visibility markings, this really could disappear as the outline is broken very effectively).

Another proof that old warbirds look good even in far more modern schemes.

That's a lot of feedback, thanks!!! Very much appreciated. I'm going to take outside pictures here in a few days when the weather clears. Apart from the the rockets, this was a blast! (seems ironic!!)

Now it's OFFICIALLY done.

I predict a slight increase in cookie purchases around here.

Yeah! Sure there's a model there!

Can't fool me, bro! I ain't gullibubble!




No kiddin', dude, it does blend into that tile really well!

[DogfighterZen]

Looks even better with natural light, what a gorgeous thing you've done! 

[NARSES2]

Well the cammo certainly works 

Well done mate

I was worried it would interfere with picture taking but I think it did the opposite and actually helped the overall presentation.

Cheers!   What a fun project. And get this... I finally have unlocked a new achievement in what if modelling; duping conventional model fans. 

A couple of comments from FB land:

"Amazing work is this a "what if"? Or was they actually used in the 1st gulf war?"



"Looks absolutely fantastic. Is this a, "what if" build? I like Sky raiders but didn't know some were used in Desert Storm."



I feel so dirty.

[TheChronicOne]

Oh look! Who knew the AF was "in" on the out of retirement game as well? 

[TheChronicOne]

Thanks, biggin'! I love my new Skyraider and am very happy I managed it but that Mustang...  it has never been the most popular thing but it's very strangely appealing to me. So "fish out of water."

Well done mate, sign of a good, plausible build  You never know, but the way the world is going in 10 years time it will be a well known "fact" that the Marines used them in Gulf War 1
