happy birthday ! to your wife ; the Tamiyas worth the extra money their models are usually quite accurate as well as ; better construction , only their decals can be a little inferior
Anthony Brown Thanks Anthony, I'll tell her you wished her a Happy Birthday! Most definitely worth the little extra in this case especially...it fell together so much more easier than the Mosquito I built, which I thought at the time was an awesome kit by Tamiya, too, but this one seems to be even better that that one! Cheers, Martin : )
FullMoonDrummer I have a lot of Tamiya kits because I like as easy a build as possible and they are usually quite accurate . They tend to do more Armour . I think Airfix have improved a lot but their quality control lets them down ; such as bunging all the spues in 1 bag . I find their decals better than Tamiya too . Have a nice celebration . I'm well the wrong side of 50 . Finally got out patient for neck problem ; different discs herniated this time C6 and 7 ; may get injections someday ; hopefully before it clears up on it's own lol
Anthony Brown Yeah, Tamiya kits are brill! Airfix QC des let the team down; when I got the new Lancaster B.II last year, there were two piece missing and one piece broken in the bag- you can see this highlighted in my Lancaster video. But, you're right, Airfix's newer decals are the bomb! Sorry to hear you've got two more herniated discs....painful! It's my C4 and C7 that are shot, so I feel your pain mate. Cheers, Martin : )
FullMoonDrummer Thanks Martin ; the scan was in August!! so I'm not sure how relevant it is now ; they've promised to follow up and arrange injections . it's a lot better than August ; they often resolve about 80% without treatment . Look forward to more Skyraider ; got to be one of the awesome ground attack planes ever such a long endurance designed in WW2
Anthony Brown Good luck, hope the injections work for you! It is an awesome ground attack plane and "Update #2" was released this afternoon ready for your viewing pleasure! ; )~
Adrian Short Hello Adrian, yes, this kit is a dream so far with our well everything is just falling into place. It's unnerving in the sense that I'm wondering what is it that has to go wrong, this is too good to be true! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend! Cheers, Martin : )
Ahoy Martin Great video and a great kit that is a beautiful kit of the Able Dog miles better then the old Monogram kit I got to get me one of these someday. you will make Sandy shine buddy I seen a lot of these during my naval career aboard the old Corel Sea and Ranger. We pulled in and dropped anchor at Cam Rhan Bay I seen a squadron of these Sandys in action the flying dump truck can deliver one hell of a punch they were the last of the piston engine aircraft. They served well from 1947 to 1972. Great kit buddy you the man. Frankie Day
frankie Day Hey Frankie, thanks for watching! I'd love to see one up close and personal like you did in Cam Rhan Bay....such a big power packed beastie of a plane! Cheers, Martin : )
ALEXANDER SAMOILIS Hello Alexander, yes, she is a brute of a plane for a single engine fighter; long wings, too, to carry all of that ordnance under them, making her look mean and aggressive! She definitely has been easy to build...I got all of that done in one day?! Cheers, Martin : )
Shane Smyth Hello Shane, thanks for stopping by, much appreciated, and, you're right, it is a beast and so it will compliment my F-4C phantom nicely! They're both aggressive looking beasts, although one is prop and the other jet driven. Have a great weekend mate! Cheers, Martin : )
General Splatton Thanks General! I'm hoping to get back onto her tomorrow (Monday), nothing done this weekend....wife's B'Day party! Cheers, Martin : )
I've always said about to manufacturers one was pilots RC kits and the other was Tamiya just shut the glue in the box give it a good shake up opener box and you have a finished model. You really had a lot done is such a short time but it seems there was no fitting issues with your one. This looks like another great model built from you and a fast one. Alan
mademodeller Hello Alan, thanks for stopping by and watching mate, always appreciated! Yeah, you're absolutely right about that; these Tamiya kits just fall together, they are so well engineered! And so, it has taken me no time at all to get to this stage! Have a great weekend mate! Cheers, Martin : )
awesome progress martin it's nice for kit to just fall together and Tamiya as we know are good models looking forward to painting stage bud your models and your models are fantastic always top stuff bud have a Great weekend 😊
Faron Adams Hey Faron, thanks for stopping by mate and your encouraging comment : ) I'm hoping to get back onto her tomorrow (Monday)....I'm having withdrawals already not being able to touch her this weekend, with family here from North Carolina to celebrate my wife's 50th! I'm going to have a panic attack before the weekend is over....I need to get that styrene back in my hands! Cheers : )
That is very fast going on the Skyraider, well done, Vietnam aircraft did have some great schemes both the Navy and Airforce so I can well understand the appeal.
ChancerNW Hello Len, thanks for stopping by mate, and yes, she's flying along (no pun intended). I have to commend Tamiya for that, the engineering is irresistibly perfection personified! Have a great weekend mate! Cheers, Martin : )
Nice to see you doing the Skyraider ; it looks a good kit ; you've made loads of progress . I guess you've got your colours ready . Personally I like it when a kit goes together well ; with out a lot of boring work . It's going to look great I know .
Anthony Brown Hello Anthony, thanks for watching! It's so well engineered, it just fell together, so I couldn't put it down. Tonight I fitted the ailerons, the exhausts and the engine cowling, cleaned everything down with Isopropyl Alcohol, then primed everything...the plane, bombs, drop tank, air-brakes and rocket pods. I wanted to get as much done before I go to bed, because tomorrow is my Wife's 50th B'Day party starting at 1.00pm and will be ging on all day. Then Sunday will be a recuperation day! So, nothing else will get done until next week now. But, the next job will be airbrushing the underside and the drop tank light grey and airbrushing all the bombs and rocket pods olive green. After that, it'll be creating paper masks, cutting them out and making a start on the upper 3 color camo scheme. I'll be using the same 3 colors that I used for the F-4C Phantom, except the dark green and the tan colors, I will be adding some white to tone them down a little. Have a great weekend, mate! Cheers, Martin : )
paips4 Hello John, thanks for watching mate! I love this plane, too....it's a beast with all the ordnance under its wings, and, it will be a great companion for the previously built F-4C Phantom! Two aggressive beastly looking birds side by side, both packing plenty of whoop-ass! Have a great weekend, mate! Cheers, Martin : )
Jake Cutter Hey Steve, thanks for stopping by mate. It is "easy" in regard to how well it goes together, but there's a ton of parts and details that go into the finished product. It should look pretty mean and aggressive when done. Have a great weekend mate! Cheers, Martin : )
Armour Empire It is a beast and it does overshadow my Spitfire and BF109E....a great war horse of the Vietnam era! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Martin : )
Technically it was a WW2 aircraft sometimes referred to as the Dauntless 2. It just didn't make it into service in time but really came into its own in Korea and then SEAC. As you know it's CAS capacity sewed the seed for the A10
Sure to look very aggressive once its done there! Same with most US military aircraft I'll say! Love the look of the A-1! It's just such a brute of an aircraft that it's beautiful! Cheers, Leo
SyntaxModels Hey, Leo, long time no "see"! Hope you're doing well? Thanks for stopping by, always appreciated : ) She'll look nice next my last build; the F-4C Phantom. Have a great weekend, mate! Cheers, Martin : )
FullMoonDrummer Doing quite well thank you Martin! Will have to catch up on those Phantom videos then! Haven't been commenting because I've been on holiday for nearly the past 5 weeks! Keep up the good work mate!
Enjoy building her....it's a gorgeous well engineered kit that just falls together. My "Build Update #2" video was released today, if you haven't watched it already? Cheers, Martin : )
Speaking of Vietnam aircraft, the classic Revellogram F-105 would be a great aircraft to build next. You could build the F/G two-seat Wild Weasel, or the D heavy bomber. Either way, I'd love to see someone professinaly build one!
Bennett Lawhorne Hello Bennett, thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated! I'd love to build every aircraft in existence, except for civil airline planes, but I don't think I have enough time to do that. The "Wild Weasel" is a cool looking subject that would go nice with this aircraft and my previous build, the F-4C Phantom. Go check out my "Final Reveal" video for that one if you like aircraft from the Vietnam era, it's the video right before this one. Have a great weekend mate! Cheers, Martin : )
Oh I did see the F-4C's final review. I've seen many pros go at that kit, but not quite as simple yet sophisticated as I saw with yours. And the SPAD is a very nice addition the collection. Happy modeling!
Another great subject Martin! I'll follow along on this one too! Did you know that the A-1 Skyraider shot down one of the first Mig-15s of the war? Now you will have another workhorse of the Vietnam era,, now you need a "Thud".
James Wilcox Hello James, thanks for stopping by : ) I did hear about that from another modeler, that this beast claimed one of the first MiG kills. A Thunderchief would be a nice addition to this "Vietnam Era" collection I seem to be starting presently! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Cheers, Martin : )
Joe Modelling Thanks Joe. I do to...so much detail to look at with open flaps, open air-brakes, open canopy, tons of ordnance on the underside, and, it's gone together beautifully so far....I just have to make sure my paint job is good. Have a great weekend mate! Cheers, martin : )
That is some pretty quick and nice nifty progress on the Skyraider there Martin, (don't rush it lol) looking good along with a good song from a good war era.
***** Hey Charles, the nifty progress is all down to how well made the kit is....it just falls together, making my job so much easier! Cheers, Martin :)
Hi Martin whose been a busy chappy.You have done a lot.Mojo on turbo or what! The cockpit area looks amazing.Think I am going to start using Tamiya paint it drys so much quicker. The pilot looks super mate.Great progress ;)
Warren Blanch Hello Warren, thanks for watching mate! I don't have turbo mojo, it's just so well engineers, it's falling together, and so, I couldn't put it down! Tamiya is the best for Airbrushing, mixed with Tamiya X-20A Thinners, but if you hairy-stick brush it, mix it with some isopropyl Alcohol to thin it down. Tamiya paint when hairy-stick brushed, tends to drag off and is a pain, but mixed with the Isopropyl, it goes on really smooth and easily and dries really quick. Cheers, Martin : )
FullMoonDrummer cheers Martin.I will get some of that Thinner's and that solution for drying the paint quicker.Starting my Corsair today.Let's see how well this baby goes together. Thanks for the heads up ;)
UKscalemodeller Hey Ian, thank for watching...and yes, the whole cockpit tub and canopy area is very small and cramped. I would have felt claustrophobic as a Pilot flying one of these. Have a great weekend mate! Cheers, Martin : )
Looking good! The cockpit is quite small relative to the overall size of the aircraft. Wouldn't have wanted to be on the business end of all that ordinance. Boom!
Roger Hull Hello Roger, thanks for watching, much appreciated! Yes, I was thinking the same thing when putting the cockpit together, just how small it is and how claustrophobic it must have been for the Pilot. That's the reason I bought this model....all of that gorgeous ordnance on the underside that makes it look so aggressive and beastly! She'll compliment my Phantom F-4C perfectly! Have a great weekend, mate! Cheers, Martin : )
Martin, I watched this several days ago and I apologize for not commenting sooner. The start of this build looks really nice and out of all of your builds I have watched so far I know you will do a great job with it. Those Tamiya kits sure are nice are they not?
TacticalJackalope Hello Andy, that's okay mate....I don't expect people to comment...I know how crazy it gets the more subscribers you have, having to wade through tons of videos a day to try to find the time to watch and comment on. Yes, these Tamiya kits are gorgeous to work with....I wish I had more, but this is my last one now, then it's back to Revell and Airfix kits in the stash! Cheers, Martin : )
Ahoj Martin! Ďalší pekný projekt na obzore. Vybrali ste veľmi dobre! Vždy sa mi SKYRAIDER moc páčil. Dobre bude vyzerať vedľa F4 Phantom! Prajem dobrú zábavu zo stavbou A-1J:) Pozdravujem, Marian.
Marian Miština Hello Marian, a lot of people seem to like this aircraft...maybe because of what a beast it was and how much armament is included, Yes, she will look nice next to my Phantom....like two beasts in a pod! Cheers, Martin : )
Making short work of it Martin, you have to love the Tamiya kits, always a dream to build, I wish my car kit manufactuers would make Tamiya quality, Cheers, Tom
ramblers69 Hello Tom, thanks for watching mate, and yes, I love Tamiya kits. this is the third one I've built since starting modeling a year ago this month, and it's falling together! Have a great weekend mate! Cheers, Martin : )
Great work on the Skyraider Martin, I really like this aircraft it is a beautiful plane, can't wait to see the progress on it. :) KUTGW I regret to hear about your sister, my condolences and hopefully brighter days will come.
Carlos Mendes Hello Carlos, thanks for waching, much appreciated, and yes, she is beautiful plane that will compliment the F-4C Phantom that I just completed before starting this one. Thanks for the condolences, too, much appreciated....it's a new year, it's a new day, it's a new dawn, it's a new life...... Cheers, Martin : )
Norm Lajoie Hey Norm, thanks for stopping by mate! Yes, I love the Nam camo scheme, an it's cool doing all the masking for it to get it right! Update #2 was released today, so after answering comments on this update. I'm off to answer ones on that one next! Cheers, Martin : )
eightfooticeman Hello Jermaine, thanks for watching; it is a great kit and build, just falling together...too good to be true, that I'm waiting for something to go wrong! I haven't forgotten the 1/32 build....it's open until December 31st, so plenty of time to enter into that one! I have two 1/32 kits to choose from, although there is one more that I want to add to those; the Mk.II Spitfire by Revell. I also have the 1/24 Airfix Typhoon for another BIG build GB! Cheers, Martin : )
Warren Blanch Hello Warren, looking forward to seeing that come together, and like your model, this one only has about 30 decals, too! So, I should be able to get the decals done in half a day instead of 20hrs that the Phantom took me Have a great weekend, mate! Cheers, Martin : )
happy birthday ! to your wife ; the Tamiyas worth the extra money their models are usually quite accurate as well as ; better construction , only their decals can be a little inferior

frankie Day Hey Frankie, thanks for watching! I'd love to see one up close and personal like you did in Cam Rhan Bay....such a big power packed beastie of a plane! Cheers, Martin : )
Quite a big model for a single engine fighter! Tamiya kits are usually very easy to build, so, the modeler can start the painting really quick!

Beast of an aircraft - I bet it's huge when compared to a ww2 era prop aircraft. Look forward to the build

I purchased the resin wingfold for mine
Fernando Duarte Sweet....when are you building yours...that'll look cool. : )
wow! that's a lot of work very quickly!
will pattison Hey Will....blame it on Tamiya engineering mate, it fell together so easily; it's a modelers wet dream! : ) Cheers!
FullMoonDrummer yeah, mon! their engineering is 95% outstanding. the other 5% will give you nightmares. ;)

Looks to be a great kit and build so far Martin. Don't forget the 1/32 build over at ISM, would love to see an entry from you mate.
Cheers! Martin
eightfooticeman Hello Jermaine, thanks for watching; it is a great kit and build, just falling together...too good to be true, that I'm waiting for something to go wrong! I haven't forgotten the 1/32 build....it's open until December 31st, so plenty of time to enter into that one! I have two 1/32 kits to choose from, although there is one more that I want to add to those; the Mk.II Spitfire by Revell. I also have the 1/24 Airfix Typhoon for another BIG build GB! Cheers, Martin : )
Nice Sandy!
r0bertrivereagle Thanks Robert, appreciate you stopping by and watching! Have a great weekend! Cheers, Martin : )
great build on the way,... fortunate son in the end just fits perfectly in :)
temnymnich Thanks, Temny! It is a cool song from that era, perfect for Vietnam video builds! Cheers, Martin : )
This Corsair I am starting tomorrow shouldn't take to long to do.The aircraft is all blue.Theirs only 30 decals to apply.
Warren Blanch Hello Warren, looking forward to seeing that come together, and like your model, this one only has about 30 decals, too! So, I should be able to get the decals done in half a day instead of 20hrs that the Phantom took me Have a great weekend, mate! Cheers, Martin : )
