Also, in lieu of alt text, every picture is of a Tamiya 1/48 Skyraider I'm building taken from a different angle. In the last four it has drop tanks.

I like the look of this shot a bit better. The flash shows off the prop hub color. Still very much a WIP but, again, better picture of an unfinished project.

This is gonna be a good looking bird. And it's the most fun I've ever had with a kit. The engineering is perfect. The flat surfaces are huge and forgiving so it would make a great first model for someone learning to airbrush. And it's inexpensive.

Remember what happens to Piggy in Lord of the Flies? I say it's a fitting nickname for trump given the present, violent implosion of the GOP.
I foresee a big ass rock in his future.
Metaphorical, of course. This is an analogy not a hit order.
Only his close, personal friends give those.
