Spad! A1 Skyraider Atlantis Air Force

[beowulf]

first build of 2012

built for a long running GB somewhere else

the theme is 'what if Atalantis hadnt been lost?'

the scenario is that the Island of Atlantis hadnt vanished as it was supposed to have but had gone on to become a small but economically powerful country

havnt really come up with a full back history yet......something along the lines of an African country being invaded by a more powerful neighbour and asking for help in the '70s. Atlantis supplies half a dozen A1 Skyraiders for use in low level ground attack over the tropical forests

kit is a well dodgy Revell offering that i got very cheap in last years MZ sale.....why mould all the pylons under the wings and then not supply any stores to hang from them? 






and for scale

That's 'cos it's a re-pop of the old Mongram kit, circa 1968 or so IIRC.

It's also moulded on the underside of one tailplane isn't it? 

Nice paintjob Beowulf - that's an excellent "junglie" scheme.

Are the roundels a smiley-face Cyclops?
