5January 19, 2022Skyray - I didn't fold wings and was not able to have perfect fit. Lot of filler was needed.
6January 19, 2022Both planes are in similar status, before or with surfacer. It will need some corrections and gentle sanding to finalize the surface before painting.

10March 15, 2022Skyhawk - inner cabin colour painted and surfacer to follow
11March 15, 2022I’ve started preshading on Skyraider with NATO black from Tamyia but I need to practice more and fine tune paint consistency and pressure on airbrush to be satisfactory.
12March 20, 2022Skyray - rescribing went quite ok with it but need a bit of correction where the slats are

JohnDouglas made some cool aircraft back in the 50s. Nice work on all 3 planes.
I finished a Tamiya Skyray last year and it is a great kit.

Petr Kreps autorHey John, thank you and you are right, I have also Skywarrior from Czech
Model in my stash and it is nice/ugly plane😁. Tamyia kit, older but still pretty decent kit. I decided to unfold the wings and wasn't able to fit the wings w/o filler. Otherwise it is smooth built.

Petr Kreps autorThank you Sergej, I like your kits as well, really great job.👌

Petr Kreps autorHi Dave, I am not so skilled in final weathering, so it is going to be a little bit gamble😁 I will go for slight weathering as this particular machine seemed not so dirty from the photos.
