Hi guys - I would like to enlist your help again...

have there been any Skyraider restoration threads posted on here? Specifically the A-1H as used by the VNAF - I'm a model maker looking to start a new project. As yet, I don't know much about Skyraiders. If there are other threads featuring other versions (but with images of parts common to all models) then those would be great too! Any links to other sites you know of, for example Warbird restoration companies etc gratefully accepted.

Please point me in the right direction...

Many thanks!

Rich

that's a good start, thanks.

I am particularly looking for photos of the plane stripped down with all the innards on show...

and I also appear to have posted this thread three times! Mods perhaps you could delete the other two...

Rich,
Challenge Publications has two books you may be interested in Skyraider Walk Around and VNAF Air Force.

My favorite topic. You can start at skyraider.org and http://www.vnafmamn.com/

A couple threads of interest would include:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16048

viewtopic.php?p=444273

And, if you search google images for "VNAF Skyraider model" you will come up with many hits like this of a number of well done model kits: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/G ... at/00.shtm

Enjoy,
Ken
