Skyraider GB?? **POLL ADDED**

Post by DazDaMan »

Since a few of us seem to want to build a model of the venerable Sandy/SPAD/Able Dog in the Naval Aircraft GB, would there be any interest in a Skyraider-only group build?

Any kit/scale/version.

Plenty of scope for different types/configurations/colour schemes.....

If I build one for the Naval a/c GB, that'll leave me only one to do. Its to get SEAC for USAF Vietnam
I might be up for this with that one.

Sounds fun. I won't have time for the Naval GB but a Skyraider one sounds good. Now to see if I've got the venerable Airfix offering in the stash!!. :grin:

As I am now the proud possessor of a 1/72 Fujimi USN A-1H courtesy of a well-known internet auction site, I am well interested in this.
