Can anybody tell me about this in 1:48 from Tamiya? Is it a good kit? I am lso curious, due to its late release, where was it used? WWII Pacific, Europe or mostly Korea? Anyone who has built it, what is the color scheme?
The 1/48 Tamiya Skyraider is one of their best kits and far better than the older Monogram kit. It saw action in Korea and Vietnam. Korean versions were Navy Gloss Dark Sea Blue. In Nam, the Navy versions were in the Gull Grey over Gloss White schemes with some very colorful markings. Air Force also used them in Nam and they were in the standard SEA camo. In addition, the South Vietnamese were equipped with some and they were painted in both schemes seen on US birds. I’ve got a Nam Navy version about 60% finished & hope to post some pics when done.
