Revell/Monogram 1/48 A-1H Skyraider

Well after fighting my paints trying to get the correct version of green for this build since Vallejo doesn't have it, I present to you my version of the A-1H in SEA camo.  Fun little build, would definitely do this one again.

Current build: 1/48 Monogram A-1H & AMT Jedi Starfighter.

Looks sharp! I like it with its gear up. I have the Navy variant calling me from the stash. You might have inspired me to bust mine out. 

Great work!

I like that Skyraider a lot! It made me want to quote one Manny (the oldimers know who I mean) who used to say something like: "I love your Skyraider and I want to marry it". I have two remarks: 1) How come the underside is so impeccably clean (for a Skyraider) and 2) pity you didn't use the opportunity to show different colours on the rocket launchers - the launchers themselves could be green, and the covers white with red tips, wouldn't that look interesting? Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

Fair point, in regards to the underside oddly enough I didn't see alot of true underside images to help with the weathering.  Plus, since this kit was bought second-hand, alot of the panel lines were sanded off so I was somewhat limited on where I thought weathering was applied.  The same with the color for the pods.  For some reason I was able to find colors and images for every version of the A-1, but little on the H version.  Of course,  now that I have put the words down, I am sure all of the images I needed for the build will now show up! Bang HeadWhistlingOops
