This is the new AD-5W / AD-5 /A1-E "long-canopy" SkyRaider, with the following improvements: - accurized (raised) tail stabilizer - underwing drop tanks - underwing ordnance racks - accurized (subdued) nose scoop, and fuselage fairing
This is of course in addition to all the original features: - gloss-finish canopy windows - raised canopy framing - hollowed-out engine inlet - scribed control surface lines - underwing (hidden) scored wing-fold lines - landing gear strut locator dimples - belly radome
And the AD-1 / AD-6 / A-1E "bubble canopy" SkyRaider has likewise also received all the corresponding improvments, with the only difference being a large, centerline drop tank substituting for the belly radome:
All the same features:
- accurized (raised) tail stabilizer - large centerline drop tank - underwing drop tanks - underwing ordnance racks - accurized (subdued) nose scoop, and fuselage fairing
And again, retaining all the original features: - gloss-finish canopy windows - raised canopy framing - hollowed-out engine inlet - scribed control surface lines - underwing (hidden) scored wing-fold lines - landing gear strut locator dimples
Until I can get the new web-pages written, pricing will be kept the same as found on the existing pages:
PLUS, I will make the following two, Special Offers:
1) Those of you who've already bought the earlier version(s) of either SkyRaider, I will sell you up to an equal number of the new, improved castings for half-off.
2) Anyone desiring to save money buying out the last of the originals - while existing supplies last - I'll sell them to you for half-price, too.
Any question(s) - or to just get started ordering - eMail me!
Cheers,
-Matty

Here, after "purple-priming" with Tamiya TS-24 Purple - and canopies masked, to preserve their transparency - are a few more pics of both types of Matt Stein Models improved SkyRaiders:
