Interesting idea and not that unrealistic. By the way, what kit are you using?

F***k!
Having just painted it I realised the nicely faired in canopy is on crooked- So I broke it off and reglued it-will have to repaint it now....

Been there done that. I usually just take crooked pictures though

after the canopy debacle, and much reblending with filler...the project so far...

I think I am back on track with this one.

Love the camo. The way the paint is not evenly the same intensity throughout makes it look very realistic. IHMO, some modellers seem to make theirs too much like a perfect illustration. And I know some actual paintschemes are like that but in scale form, they often look more like toys to me. Your camo looks like it really was painted on a full-size aircraft. This is going to be outstanding when it's done.

I am insanely jealous!!!!

I have the 1/48th Dynavector kit which has been languishing in the to be finished pile for about 5 years. I was planning to do it in the very SEA camo that you are.

And man yours looks great!!!!!

Now I must finish it...........

Someone did a profile of this version last year (I think, Mav?) and it peaked my interest but lack of a kit I can afford has kept me from it.

Looking forward to the finished project. Looks to be Whiffie worthy so far.

Are various trials and tribulations, and a few lessons learned it is finished! Though I might do some bits on it here and there....

It represents a rather worn USAF version last seen operating over Laos in 1973.

Great result Van, very nice ---

Ed S · February 25, 2009, 08:58:39 AM

Nicely done. Good job on the camo. This thing is definitely the Skyraider's ugly brother.
