1/48 Douglas F4D-1 Skyray ( Metallic Edition )

I just picked up the regular one at the last show I went to. I ordered the CMK cockpit and nose radar. The kit is fine OOB but I got the resin things really cheap. That nose radar really adds detail too.

Thanks for that. The metallic version was a reissue of he original Skyray and came out about 2011. I assume it wasn't too popular if I got it for $10 Aussie. Still other than the metallic plating looks an ok kit.

I didn't know they made a plated version. It's best to remove the plating before any painting for better adhesion. Remove the plating with Clorox Bleach. It should come off within a few minutes of soaking then rinse under tap water. Just use gloves and eye protection.
