I've been working on this one off and on for the last year. Finally finished it this last week. It goes well with the 1st one I built a couple of years ago. Both were Ploesti survivors. Decals are from Fine Art of Decals Ploesti Specials.

I think it's on You Tube also Phil. -
Agreed Peter. Their instruction diagrams could use some tweaking as they leave a lot of room for guessing. I've had to pop it apart twice to re-attach parts correctly. 🤪

Coming right along. Had a couple glitches getting the fuselage & innards to match up but corrected now.

20/20 hindsight Ernie. Kane, Compton and Ent screwed things up. -
Alright! I have one in my stash and I'll certainly be keeping up with your build. Maybe that will give me the needed incentive to build it. What scheme do you plan on doing, grey/green or earth/green?

And what is the next build Peter?
-
As expected Peter it's outstanding! Very well done!!!!

I agree it has a Skyraider "look", especially in planform .

Thank you Kevin. Easy peasy.

I've thought about it but that would be a big mother! I might if a earlier version such as the "E" "F" or "G" were available. -
Yes, eclipsed by the jets. I think they built something like 10 or 12 and only 1 survives today. No Gaz, I wasn't in the Navy.

A bit ugly from some angles but still a interesting bird. I plan to do it in nmf with the wings folded.

They give us two styles of seats. The frame for the second seat is very delicate and obviously it will be easy to break when cleaning out the flash.

Thanks Ernie! I'm pleased with the way it turned out. -
This looks to be a interesting kit to build. 1/48 and comes with PE and clear acetate parts. I plan to do the silver scheme. Stay tuned!

Thanks Gaz. I agree that it's nice to see something a bit different. Might do a Corsair too later on. -
