Hasegawa 1/72 Douglas A-1 Skyraider || Full Build Video

The Douglas A-1 Skyraider is one of my favourite aircraft, so building this kit was (mostly) an absolute pleasure. I was hoping to have this video finished alongside my Skyraider documentary but unfortuantely I ran info a few snags along the way. Most of those were my own doing so for the most part, this is a pretty decent kit to build.

Nice one mate! 👍✈️🇳🇿

[@andrewm3934]

great video im building this in 1/48

[@ncc17701a]

Nice! I think I had a kit that allowed you to build 2 - and if anything, I never made them dirty enough.

Should've put a toilet in the outboard hardpoint on the starboard wing. Google "What the hell's on 572's wing?!" You won't be disappointed

[@alexeipyotr2535]

So, turns out you can actually buy the toilet as an aftermarket product. www.aviationmegastore.com/detailset-toilet-bomb-for-a1-skyraider-brengun-model-accessories-brl72046-aircraft-scale-modelling/product/?action=prodinfo&art=113245

My best friend, Thank you for your hard work in making the video. I enjoyed the good video. Have a happy day.

[@chunkyboied2282]

I Like that your not using the airbrush for everything and it still looks amazing, keep it up👍👍

[@thetinfoilstetson402]

Excellent build Alexei... well done mate

[@barerobert]

Make more videos! I loved this, so easy to follow you on what you describe :)

[@petermerz2704]

Very cool build! First time watching your videos. I have subscribed! Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦

[@pofrof4910]

Nice job. Well done.

[@michaelnaven213]

Well done.

[@berrycrusader9538]

Well done mate!

[@chancerNW]

Great looking Skyraider and an excelled build vid. Well done on both counts

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Looks really good! Nice done! All the best for You! ;)

[@lllordllloyd]

Great job mate. Just finding that kit is near impossible: Hasegawa really hate making money, so much that Hobby 2000 have to do most of their work to get kits from the production line to our stash.

[@alexeipyotr2535]

Oh, I know exactly what you mean. I couldn't believe my luck when I found this kit for a reasonable price, especially in a toy store that's notorious for overpricing all their model kits.

[@Mariner311]

First of your Videos I've seen - EXCELLENT pacing and narration !! Some others are a serious SNOOZE fest. I'm also a Skyraider fan, and former Naval Aircrewman

[@alexeipyotr2535]

Thanks for that! Glad I got the pacing right. Next project I'm working on is also a naval aircraft... sort of.....

[@Harikejn]

Very excellent video. I just love it. I remember long time ago I did from Revell Skyraider model kit that was in scale such as 1/48. There were two options of the decals as well. You can put to be either US air force, or to be in use of French air force as well. Keep up the work. You should be very proud of yourself.

[@alexeipyotr2535]

I actually built that one many years ago as well! Still not sure whether rescribing all the raised panel lines was really worth my time haha.

[@Harikejn]

@@alexeipyotr2535 Well, if you have enjoyed doing the model kit, than it's worth of time. I know that the mentioned model kit from Revell that I have assembled was my first trying of painting, since I was starting interest in hobby modeling as well. I'm thinking to buy similar model kit as well. And if you are interested, you can see some of my model kits that I also did as well.

[@carlosballesteros4670]

What a wonderful work you've done. One thing I can't understand is why is that tending for hand painting some parts. Isn't a particular aspect but a fashion I've seen with other modelers. As I see it, doing so underrates the model. Anyway you've done a terrific work and had the chance to learn some new techniques. 👍

[@petermarkham1153]

Very good video, for my taste the music is a little too loud against your voice, making it hard for me to here you, maybe I'm going deaf 😊

[@rolandjaycutter3504]

Shame it didn't have a YANKEE extraction system molded.

[@alexeipyotr2535]

Yeah, that would have been nice, but I *think* some of the larger scale models like Trumpeter and Zoukei-Mura have it.
