Skyraider AS.1

[Devilfish]

After WW2, the Royal Navy needed to replace its Avenger torpedo bombers.  Westland's Wyvern wasn't ready for service, so Skyraiders were bought to fill the role.

I like that a lot, very nice work!   
Cool to see the skyraider in a different scheme.

[Dizzyfugu]

Nice, the NATO Navy scheme with a high waterline suits the Skyraider well.  And the British RPGs are a nice detail, too.

Another whiffy RN AD has been around online for years, a Tamiya kit, also 1:48:



And I think there is/was a similar RCN AD, too.

[NARSES2]

Very nice 

[Pellson]

Very, very nice alternate scheme indeed!

[Old Wombat]

Yes, I like that a lot!    

[SPINNERS]

Looks at home in that scheme. Lovely stuff!

[AeroplaneDriver]

One of my favorite schemes.  Love it!

The AEW variant would look good in this scheme.

Nice work ! I love the Skyraider. Just everything about it seems right.

[PR19_Kit]

That's so logical you wonder why it didn't happen. Specially as they already had the AEWs.

LOVELY model too.
