Hi, this is my first article on ARC.  I built this A-1 for a friend who's father was a A-1 pilot in the VNAF, 514 Fighter Squadron, 23 Tactical Wing based at Bien Hoa AFB.  I built it straight out of box, the only modification was the hydraulic tubes of the landing gears.

As I had to ship the model oversea, I decided not have antenna wire on the model.  I took the photos then digital edited and added the antenna just for the images.  Included are the close up of main landing gears and the model as it was when I took the photos, the other two photos are edited.
 
I weathered the model with Designer's Copic markers grey set and goach.
 
Hope you enjoy the model.
