A-1 Skyraiders - part 3

While the glue dried on my Airfix Skyraider I cracked open this rather newer (1991) Revell version. While the Airfix kit represents the single seat ‘J’, this is the twin-seat ‘E’.  It’s always interesting to compare new vs old kits and the Revell offering manages to be both more and less sophisticated than the Airfix veteran.
It was a simple and straightforward build and soon both kits were drying side by side.

Nice to see lots of old kits coming to the surface, makes me wish I was more of a kit basher!

It’s nice to get a second ‘go’ at some of these old kits, having made such and ar*e of them first time round!

The Revell kit you have is a re-release - most of predates your Airfix kit :)

That figures! Still a nice old kit though.
