WIP's, External tex mapping and 99% ext. model done. Still got to make ton of ordnance to hang off it!
And of course the second half, int. and VC
 
Tim, that looks fantastic! :salute:
One small request, if you will allow, for a clean version. I saw several in action making strafing runs in the Ashau Valley with no ordinance on the hard-points. It was a Beautiful Sight.
 
Piglet, excellent choice of avatar picture. Does that mean we can expect a nice red little Sword Fish from you ? :jump:

Appart from that, this Skyraider looks awesome. Can't wait to fly it. Great job, as usual, mister Piglet :salute::ernae:
 
Darn Nice

Massive single engine and a load of metal. What more could one want in an airplane. Looking forward to flying this one. Thanks Mr. Piglet (and that goes for all the other great planes you've done)!

It looks fantastic.

Please do a clean model.

I used to see them at Eglin and Hurlburt all the time back in 60s.

The vast majority were clean. There were times when they were loaded with ordnance also.

Excellent Tim! I know this one will be flown quite frequently on my machine. A grandmother of mine worked for Douglas in the 40's, out on the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:smarttags" /><st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:State> coast as a riveter on the tail assemblies, so with various stories throughout my life, I have always had a soft spot for the Skyraider and am looking forward to experiencing this one in the sim. She has always been proud to know and learn more about the amazing service career that it had, and how even today there are many still flying.

It is not my place, nor anyone's except for yours Tim, to make this request, but I agree with VCN-1, that the option to fly an example without ordnance would be greatly preferred by me, and I would be forever grateful for it! The work you have put into this airplane looks very accurate and exceptionally well done!
