Should build up to be a nice one Peter. It will go well with the Navy version previously built.

This is my next build, a USAF A-1 Skyraider. I've built the USN version previously so now it's time for the USAF version. Comes in a BIG box with LOTS of parts. This one has the armament set included so I won't have to purchase that extra. Stay tuned!

Thank you Peter. It might could use a little more but I'll leave it as is.

Thanks Carl! I went through it this AM and clipped off the MANY little molding tabs. I'll keep it on the bench to work on while I'm building the ZM Skyraider. A bit here and a bit there, etc.

Just for grins, here's the Tamiya kit I built something like 20 years ago. (Now I might just put the RF kit on hold and turn to something else.) Click on the pics for best resolution and slide show.

Agreed Phil!!! I bought a Tamiya kit on ebay earlier today so for now I can concentrate on other parts of the build. (It turns out I built a Tamiya one some years back. I had forgotten about it but it is in one of my cases.)

Same here Peter!

Instead of using the fiddly kit track parts I'm going to substitute vinyl tracks from a Tamiya M4A3E8. It looks like they will work okay and spare me the high cuss-factor of the RF tracks. Fingers crossed.

Thanks Tim. The Panther is still available.

Thanks Phil. No interior on this one. 😀

A change of pace Gaz. I haven't build a tank in years.

Thanks for the info Carl! I'm sure it will be of help.

LOL Agreed Peter! I'll work on this one along with a ZM Skyraider (whenever it shows up!). Two on the bench at the same time.

Okay guys, this one is out of my comfort zone as I seldom build armor. I really like this version of the Sherman and this looks to be a very good kit so I think I will take the plunge. The main thing that puts me off is the tracks. As you can see, they are made up of a butt-load of small fiddly pieces that have to be assembled just right. I'm going to give it a try but am making no promises! LOL Maybe I should call this my "Out of my friggin' mind build!" We will see! (It's likely this will be one I work on from time to time.)

Thanks Martin.

Thinking about it Peter.

Pretty bad alright and way more than I want to deal with. Undecided on the next build but I have a ZM USAF Skyraider on the way so maybe that one. We will see.

I think it's time to put this SOB aside again. I'm just not up to dealing with this type of headache. I'll return to it "later". ☹️

The B and C were practically identical as far as I know. No conversion that I know of.

Thanks Peter! I'm pleased that you like it.

Thanks Dennis. I agree!

I'll work on this one for a while just to have something on the bench. I may set it aside again if and when I decide to go to something else. We'll see......

Now it's time to resume work on this one. The replacement clear parts and exhausts from Aerocraft Models will go a long way towards making this a nice model.

Thank you Kai! I'm pleased you like the results of my efforts!
