JohnB Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 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! 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will go well with the Navy version previously built. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bidding on ebay can be a "problem" and aggravating Phil. I rarely do that anymore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John I've pretty much done the same and am in shock at the insane prices being asked for models. I only use ebay now for buying a piece of AM when I can't find it anywhere else. What it once was, surely isn't any more. Keep 'em comin Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shopped around for a canopy mask set for the ZM kit but no one had it, not even ebay. So I finally settled on a set from SB for the Trumpeter kit and have crossed my fingers it'll fit okay. We will see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 I'm torn between building this as a Air Force one or a Navy one. The kit has both options. If I decide on a Navy a/c it will be Gull Gray and White but I haven't decided for sure just yet. And I'm still waiting for the Quinta cockpit set to show up (thanks to the USPO snail service). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drifter Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I feel your pain John, huge delays in shipping all over. A parcel from Spain usually takes a week, maybe 2 to me. Last one took 5 weeks, and it's tiny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the PO has lost it. 😐 I ordered some stuff from them end of August … Then it was said to be delivered to my place on November 3rd, only it wasn’t delivered that day. It’s now somewhere, and I am having trouble with Quinta to recognize it was never delivered … So, hoping the best for you, John 🤞 ! Hubert PS edit : just got some news today. My items were returned to Quinta, , and are now being sent back to me … 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
