Zoukie-Mura - 1:32 Skyraider....

[BarryW]

Well this has been a long build for me but it has been a very enjoyable build.

I noticed from my reference pics the counter balances on the rudder and aelerons were invisible and seeing I had all sorts of problems because they are so vulnerable, kept knocking them off - I removed them all-together. Purists will hate it but it does mean they are not there just to get knocked off as soon as someone looks at it!!!

Anyway - I am happy with the result...

Wow, nice work there Barry, in the right backdrop one could mistake this for the real thing. Top marks.

Big bad and beautiful barry!!!! (i mean bad in a good way !) Fantastic job , and it must be very impressively sized too. The weapons are an essential part of any skyraider of this era , its a shame you had to buy them extra , i'd say it was worth it though , it just looks so mean with all those rockets hanging off it!! 5 stars for sure! cheers tony

A very fine looking beast there Barry! Lovely paint & weathering, and it's certainly the definition of going loaded for bear!

Barry, that is a gorgeous build!

A fantastic build. Sublime paint work and weathering.

A most impressive model which you are well within your rights to be 'pleased with'.

I have but one question, what next. Started saving for that Mitchell perhaps?

Five very well earned stars.
