"1:48 Tamiya Douglas A1-H Skyraider"

As with all new Tamiya kits their A1-H Skyriader is well engineered and the
parts fit together with seamless precision.  I therefore felt the need to
attack them with a sharp instrument and duly folded the wings using the
Airwaves etched brass wingfold accessory set.  That aside the kit was
assembled out of the box, spray primed with white car primer (which also
formed the white undersurface paint finish) and Humbrol satin enamel brush
painted over the upper surfaces.

After sealing the paint finish with a couple of coats of Johnsons Clear
acrylic varnish, I used the Tamiya decals to represent the MiG 17 Killer of
VA 176 "Thunderbolts" aboard USS Intrepid in 1966. A dark brown enamel wash
was used to weather around the exhausts and accent underwing panels etc.  I
posed the dive brakes partly open... probably inaccurate for a parked bird
but I just had to!!
