Skyraider VA-145 Complete

Nathan Dempsey
Here she is in all her faded glory. A bit overdone, but added some interest to the old kit. I feel good I actually saved it from the shelf of doom!

Nathan Dempsey
Lol thanks Roland!

Mirko Römer
That's one lovely model, no need to hide it! 🙂

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks Mirko 🙂

Slavo Hazucha
Nathan I am not sure you can really "overdo" a Skyraider... your´s is IMHO spot on, wearing some scars & smears, but certainly ready to go IN for some more... 👍

Looking really great - big ugly dirty machine loaded to the teeth... You got all the boxes ticked & can be fully happy with it 🙂

Konrad -
I'm with Slavo. Great looking Skyraider 👍!!

Neuling
I´m with Slavo too.

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks so much for your kind words friends. I now have motivation for the next project 🙂

This bird now sits proudly by her sister, the ancient Matchbox 1:48 AD-5.

A most excellent job sir, well done. I have the AD-5/A1E in the Revell boxing. Same kit just re-boxed. I think I have gotten every resin upgrade there is for it.

Nathan Dempsey
Thank you Clifford. Yes, maybe one day I'll build another AD-5, but I'll keep hoping for a new tool.

That's an amazing job you've done on that old Monogram kit Nathan. I've got a similar vintage Monogram F-105 in 1/48 that's been hiding in my stash for longer than I can remember now... but have been avoiding it due to the raised panel line details.

Clifford Keesler
Re-scribe it. LOL. I am re-scribing a Revell/Monogram F-14A at the moment. Maverick's F-14 from Top Gun.

Nathan Dempsey
I'm too lazy to rescribe an entire kit. I just prefer to see Clifford's work.

James C
Haha... I just lack the skills to even consider attempting a total re-scribe😉

Clifford Keesler
AH, come on now. LOL.
