Skyraider model in 1/72 scale |

After having a US Navy Skyraider [on page 1] and USAF A-1E [ page 2] in the model collection, another Hasegawa Skyraider was found in the stack, waiting to be built....
Hasegawa kit 00073 is for a
A-1H and A-1J Skyraider, with decal markings for:

After filling and sanding, the model got a base coat of light grey with the airbrush. Although the kit decals are fine,
I had a nice but very old Modeldecal sheet no.9 with a very colourfull
A-1J Skyraider of USS Intrepid with the Bee marking of the rear fuselage.
The standard US NAVY gull-grey and
with scheme was airbrushed with the Harder
Steinbeck airbrush :
Some leading edges needed a metallic aluminium paint. The black anti-glare panel was also
masked, and airbrushed. The walkways was made with a decal and the propeller
was painted as indicated with yellow tips. The smoke of the exhasut was
also added with some matt black paint with the airbrush. (alternatively
dry-brush).
The model than got a gloss varnish
of Gunze Sangyo H30 to protect the decals and to get an even gloss sheen.

a setting was suggested on the Entrepid
carrier museum....
A nice bunch of Skyraiders are now
in the 1/72 collection. Now, I also have a large 1/32 Zokei Mura Skyraider
kit....
