The Tamiya Skyraider
kit not only captures well the lines of this out of date and effective aircraft,
but also eluded successfully the hammers of rivet counters. Therefore, I built
the two models out of the box with some details specific to the aircraft to
complement their accurate outlines.

I played with
washing techniques to emulate exhaust and oil stains using a black oil paint.
The good news is that if your base colors are turpentine resistant, the wash can
be corrected. The bad news is that you still need some nerves when splashing
black paint on your finished model!
