New Project Off The Drawing Board

Are you going to model it with the wings folded?

And, yes, I'll take some of those fine cookies, since they are perfect for sharing.

The jury is still out on the wing fold.......................however you are far to late for the cookies,  that tin is full up with spare bits and bobs.

Great work Dork! A neat concept wonderfully executed, I can't wait to see it finished.

Great White, Dork!!

The fin looked like a building, but, once the props are on, man, the looks change spectacularly!

Melikesit!!

What he said.    Great concept - looking forward to seeing it finished.

Update on the "GW"
Had to search out a beefed up undercart then applied the first coat of the colour.

Im still thinking about the canopy type. Im leaning towards the heavy frame "ground attack?"one, which could later sport the SEA scheme although it does have the old Skyshark look to it..or the standard Skyraider canopy. Feel free to chip in with your thoughts.

I would use heavy frame.

Wow that's some wonderful work there Dork! I gotta vote for the heavy-framed canopy too. It really helps obscure the origins of this beauty! Not only that, but it looks tough as nails.

I agree. And it seems to suit the overall shape of the aircraft better than the Skyraider canopy.

Now that would look interesting posed alongside my Australian Skyshark ?

....and why not. Only the impossible takes a little longer

[Captain Canada]

Wow Dork, that is a thing of beauty ! I'd go with the original frame canopy, the heavy one makes it look too clunky.

Progress update,
a gloss coat and a few markings are adding a bit of "life" .

Im still working on the two canopies..............bit like old King  Sol.

[B777LR]

Id definetly go for the last canopy

Coming along nicely...a defiinite jmn confuser !

Dork, it's a close race between the two, but I'd have to go with the latter as well; as stated before it fits the aircraft better. Beautiful work so far , I love the Korea era paint scheme, IMHO much better than the Vietnam era camouflage or overall grey. Have you thought about armament yet?
