Wheels look good Chris. Painting the tires is always fun…

Thanks Carlos. Luckily Monogram gave us nice raised rim edges , so it should not be that difficult with this kit.

Really nice progress!
I do like Rattle can primer too - I don't use it on my builds as such but I do on my Miniatures.... I need to use it more

Rattle cans are your friends! Anyway, the Skyraider looks great!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't use rattle cans. Looks great though!

I don't use them much either, it seems I spray my bench and tools more than the model.
Re: CB's Monogram 1/48 A-1H Skyraider Build
You definitely have to have a spray booth John. And a roll of a brown painter paper does not hurt to minimize clean up (Reduces dust getting kicked up and ending up in your paint job as well I might add).

I use it mostly during summertime and early fall when the weather is nice. 99.9% of the time I'll spray outdoors using rattlecan primer.
