As A change of pace from WW2 birds, I decided to try the Tamiya 1/48 Skyraider. An excellent kit in almost every regard, it was a pretty easy bulid. Yeah, I know the Spad was notorious for exhaust staining, but I like my shelf sitters clean. Other than accenting panel lines, I didn’t weather it much.
Comments welcome. Thanks for letting me share it.
Well, I’ll tell you, she looks great to me!
Hey Rick you have a beautifull bird here! Built up really gorgeus. Thanks for sharing it with us
Rick,

Looks great, Rick ! Its ALMOST a WW II bird ! (And I think one of the “meanest” looking prop planes ever)
Well done !

Looks gorgeous Rick!!! So that’s how they look clean, eh!!! LOL I worked on one last year, and ended up wiping the plane down with my clothes…needless to say it was still filthy, and so was I!!! Had to buy a new set of clothes after all that!!!
shes nice. really looks good.

Beautiful job on the spad. It’s not the greatest looking plane ever but its got a certain purposeful look to it. great paintjob. Keep up the good work.
obiwan, magic, Heath, Joe, Daniel, Thanks very much for your feedback & comments. Glad you like it and much appreciated.
obiwan, Tamiya has released 2 versions, one Navy & one AF. This was the Navy kit & markings.
Clean is good! Nice bird!
Thanks Dan. Not everyone agrees that clean is good, but hey, to each his own.
