1/48 Tamiya Skyraider AD4

Bonjour, this is my first submission on ARC. I built this "Armée de l'Air"  French Skyraider two years ago. This kit  is a conversion of the excellent Tamiya A-1H almost OOB with some extra-detailing of the engine, cockpit, and landing gear.

Decals are from the MDC D48002 sheet (very good quality).  This aircraft saw combat in Algeria with the 20 e Escadre de Chasse. Most of the others French Skyraiders were AD4N type.

The fuel tank is from a Hasegawa Corsair (also used by French Navy in Algeria).
