Monogram A-1 Skyraider

Post by Proud Marine Dad »

I think this was the first 1/48 scale aircraft I built when I got back into modeling years ago. It wasn't the best fit in this old tooling Monogram but I was pleased with the results.
The oil streaks were airbrushed freehand.

You did good on the classic kit! Especially on the finish.

Nice! Lot's of boom-sticks too! Well done.

That's a great looking build - Spads are very cool.
