I was just looking at that. Should be a help alright.

That was news to me also.

Coming right along. And of course, I've already managed to break off the two little static dischargers on the rudder. No big surprise there! 😄

Thank you Martin.

I'll have to check their site out then Carl. Anything to make it easier!

I plan to extend the wings on this one so we will see how it goes. Fingers crossed!

It should be more enjoyable that the SB2C was. And this will be my 2nd ZM A-1 build so no surprises.

Should make a interesting model with all the weathering, etc. Lots of oil stains on the center line tank and exhaust stains on the fuselage sides, etc.

Open canopy but all else closed up.

LOL Okay Mark, you are in!

I had started this ZM A-1H Skyraider a while back but put it aside for "later". I guess now is "later". I used the Quinta cockpit interior which really sets off a cockpit. I intend to model a USAF SEA bird out of NKP, Thailand used mostly for SAR. Considering George Merritt's "Sock it to em" but that's not "for sure" right now. We'll see.

Thanks Kevin! I'm glad you like it.

Thank you Gaz. None that I can think of Gaz since I've been modeling for over 60 years.

🙄😂

🤣🤪

Thank you Ernie. Sure you can but with the note that it is a VERY difficult build. Okay?

Thank you Mark.

Coming along nicely Peter. Those Tamiya Spits are a pleasure to build.

She's a beauty Peter. One to one scale!!! LOL

Thanks Phil! There were times when I asked myself if I REALLY wanted to continue the build. I'm glad I did continue as I like the way it turned out. Yes, they have a wing fold set available but I'm not embarking on another one of these. Considering resuming work on my ZM Skyraider USAF Vietnam/Laos. I had started that kit but set it aside for something else. It will make a good looking model in the SEA scheme possibly with a load of ordinance.

Thank you Dennis. I'm pleased that you like it.

Thank you Peter! It was a test of my determination and patience for sure LOL.

Thank you so much for the nice words Peter. Very much appreciated. It certainly was a bit of a cuss-factor build but I think it turned out well. Now I can start on something that has a lot less frustration!

Thank you Carl! This kind of kit makes us appreciate Tamiya, Hasegawa, etc all that much more!!!

Agreed Paul.
