Well this has been a long build for me but it has been a very enjoyable build.

I noticed from my reference pics the counter balances on the rudder and aelerons were invisible and seeing I had all sorts of problems because they are so vulnerable, kept knocking them off - I removed them all-together. Purists will hate it but it does mean they are not there just to get knocked off as soon as someone looks at it!!!

Anyway - I am happy with the result...

Big bad and beautiful barry!!!! (i mean bad in a good way !) Fantastic job , and it must be very impressively sized too. The weapons are an essential part of any skyraider of this era , its a shame you had to buy them extra , i'd say it was worth it though , it just looks so mean with all those rockets hanging off it!! 5 stars for sure! cheers tony

A very fine looking beast there Barry! Lovely paint & weathering, and it's certainly the definition of going loaded for bear!

Cheers

That's turned out beautifully Barry. Now I can see why you were prepared to spend so much on it.

Barry, that is a gorgeous build!

A fantastic build. Sublime paint work and weathering.

A most impressive model which you are well within your rights to be 'pleased with'.

I have but one question, what next. Started saving for that Mitchell perhaps?

Five very well earned stars.
