Next Build...a Real World Classic. A-1H Completed

[AeroplaneDriver]

Can you guess the build from the loadout...?

[AS.12]

Hmm one too many each side for an A-37, so along with the daisy-cutter fuses I'm going to guess it's an A-1

[Rheged]

A heavily overloaded Sea Hawk, perhaps?

[Old Wombat]

I'd be gunning for an A-1 Skyraider, too.

[Dizzyfugu]

My 1st thought was an OV-10, but the number of hardpoints would not match, either, as on an A-37, so an A-1 sounds most plausible.

[Old Wombat]

The only other option I can see is an A-10 but, although they're now OoP, I'm doubtful they'd be considered "Classic", yet.

[b29r]

Mmmmmm. . . . . think I'll have to throw in with an A-1 also 

[Mossie]

Outside bet, Phantom?

[AeroplaneDriver]

Good call fellas.   Pics tomorrow.   Tamiya's gorgeous 1/48 A-1H.

First pic...kind of dull admittedly, but it's a relatively dull scheme until it gets some colorful markings, then it's one of my all time favorites. 

Work tonight but hopefully more progress tomorrow and first decals on. 

This is only my second ever Skyraider, the first being the Monogram kit I built as a North Carolina Forestry Service Fire Bomber on floats for an Amphib GB on here many, many moons ago.  (2006??)

Anyhoo....can say with much confidence that the Tamiya kit goes better a bit better than Monogram's (nicely detailed) effort.

I love the ol' Spad!

Good to hear, 'coz I've got one to build.

I was about to chant "SPAD! SPAD! SPAD!"

Fantastic. I'm looking forward to this!

[AeroplaneDriver]

Progress coming along nicely.  Busy week at work, but getting close to finished.

Leftenant Patton has been a busy man.....

This looks great, keep goin' for the gusto!

[DogfighterZen]

Love this beast!
