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

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

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!

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.
