Modeling Subjects Aircraft

Hello everybody,

It’s a first time that I post a new thread on Aircraft, so first a little introduction: My name is Pawel Mroczkowski, I live in Poland and like some people from other forums know I specialize im models of US equipment from the Vietnam War. Some time ago I completed a 1:72 Hasegawa Skyraider. At last I photographed it and wrote a build report. For details please check my web page:

And here are some fotos for the impatient:

Nice work, Pawel!

Very nice Pawel. I like the exhaust staining.

Rick, John & John - Thanks a lot for Your comments.

In case it might help somebody, I painted the exhaust stains with an airbrush, and then, while the paint (humbrol) was still fresh I took a fine brush, dipped it in solvent and painted the vertical runs.

Thanks for checking my post, looking forward to more comments, have a nice day

Nice work Pawel. [Y]

I also airbrushed my exhaust stains but did not use a paint brush. It was all freehand airbrushed.

Here is a picture of mine that I did several years back:

Very nice Pawel. I love the weathering. I’m a fan of CAS aircraft such as the A-1. Love the OV-10 as well.

You did very well with your rendering of an SEA theater Skyraider! Camo is especially nice.

Medicman - thanks for the comment and thanks for looking on the web page, glad you liked it.

Daywalker - thanks a lot. I thought there were just not enough of them in 1:72

Have a nice day

Pawel
