Tamiya’s
Douglas Skyraider is the best kit of this famed aircraft available in 1/48th
scale. Detail is very good and assembly problems are non-existent. I built this
kit straight out of the box and used the kit’s decals.

I
used Modelmaster enamels for the upper camouflage pattern. I painted the black
underside using Humbrol Satin Black enamel. Wheel hubs were painted using
Aluminum Metalizer by Modelmaster. The rocket tubes were painted with a Gloss
Black and Silver mixture. Rocket pods were finished in Olive drab and insignia
red.
This
kit was a pleasure to build. Now it sits next to my Monogram AH-1 that I built
ten years ago. Happy modeling,
