1:32 A-1H MD3 Set

The real subject

The Douglas A-1H Skyraider was a single-engine piston ground-attack aircraft of American manufacture. It appeared at the very end of the Second World War, so it never saw combat in that conflict, yet it stayed in service considerably longer than most machines of its generation. It made its name through long endurance over the battlefield and a large load under the wings, qualities that faster jets could not offer.

What the set belongs to

This is an accessory set listed for the A-1H model in 1:32 scale, designated MD3 in its name. The exact composition, the number of parts and the assembly procedure are given in the manufacturer's instructions, which you should follow while building. Before buying it is worth comparing which kit and which version of the aircraft the set is aimed at, so that it sits on the model without alterations.

Building and painting tips

Test fit the parts dry first and only then reach for the glue. Cut off the excess material with a sharp blade a little away from the part and sand the remainder carefully so that the shape of the edges is not spoiled. Before painting, wash the surface with lukewarm water and detergent and let it dry completely, because paint holds incomparably better on a degreased surface. Spray in thin coats, from the base color through the main shade to edge highlighting and shading of the recesses. Leave glued parts to harden without any load on them.

Terms of supply

The contents of the package follow the manufacturer's data. Paints, glue and thinners are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
