    A-1 Skyraider

    Sorry I kind of let this thread die but events beyond my control scuttled the project. While I was in Hawaii working someone walked into the house we were renting and walked out with my laptop that had all the Skyraider files on it. I had no backups, so end of project.

    A-1 Skyraider

    Just out of curiosity sir do you have any personal experience with the Skyraider? ie as a soldier or pilot, etc? @Zathros, Not sure I get the joke, however I will tread a little more softly mentioning that "other" site.

    A-1 Skyraider

    Cool a Spad :smile: are ya gonna do an A-1D? Me personally, no. The H and E are probably all I am going to do, however a lot of guys over at papermodelers.com are drooling over this with talks of repaints and so forth, so maybe one of them will do it or maybe someone from here? I'm...

    A-1 Skyraider

    I just couldn't get going on the F4U-4 project, but someone suggested the Skyraider and it felt like a good decision. I'm going to start with the A-1H and hopefully do an E model sometime in the future(Col Fisher is a hero of mine). There is obviously still a lot to do and I wouldn't consider...

    Texas ANG XP-72

    Treadhead: As Wojtee says it is 1/32. Wojtee: Sounds like you have almost made the decision, you just need that little push over the edge? This is by far the most refined of any of my kits. Mostly because I spent so many years with it on the back burner that the test builders had enough...

    Texas ANG XP-72

    Glad you like the model pistol. Don't knock yourself down before you even try though. Maybe you can't build it right now but give yourself a chance to learn. Try some simpler models and work your way up and you might find that you can build something like this.

    Maybe I hit the preview post and then forgot to actually post it? In any case not a big deal.

    XP-72 Ultrabolt

    Almost ready I think just about all the details of the kit have been taken care of, except the all important details with the vendors. But since I'm taking scouts to scout camp tomorrow morning and there is no cell signal or internet connection it's going to have to wait about a week or...

    What am I?

    You got it. F4U-4. I hadn't thought too much about paint schemes other than that I would do Cook Clelands Korean War aircraft, and that I will do a cannon armed version and 1 with 6 fifties. I'm guessing you mean a 2 toned grey scheme? It'll be awhile before I'm ready to start the paint...

    What am I?

    Couldn't resist starting a new project, even though I said I would not. No promises though on if it will ever get finished seeing as how the XP-72 took 3 years (the instructions are pretty much done just a waiting for the test builders to go through and them). But here is a little teaser...
