1/48 Tamiya A-1J Skyraider

So out of the blue I watched the old Flight of the Intruder DVD.  Scenes of the Skyraiders coming to Danny Glover and Willem Defoe's rescue gave me the motivation to build the Tamiya Skyraider that's been sitting in storage for years.  I built the kit strictly out of the box.  I focused on pre-shading and I thought it was enough to give the Skyraider the weathered look.

The kit is a nice addition to my Vietnam era USAF collection.

Now we just need to see these aircraft come together in future airshows and do a heritage flight.
