I had this kit for a long time but wanted to do a modification.  different scheme than those provided with the kit.   While doing some research online, I came across the story of L.CDR Ed Greathouse of VA-25 on the USS Midway and  his dropping of a “Toilet Bomb” on North Vietnam. The sight of an A-1H with a toilet hung on a wing hard point sealed  the deal on how I was going to paint and mark my Skyraider.  The search was now on for the markings. As luck would  have it, Aeromaster sheet 48-530 had the markings for the aircraft and it’s special bomb and I was able to obtain a set  from a gentleman on Hyperscale.   The next item was to figure out how to replicate the toilet and attachment bars in 1/48 scale. A discussion about this  aircraft was on the Zone Five website and this proved to supply what I needed. Hasegawa had issued the old  Monogram Skyraider kit with additional parts to make up the toilet bomb and carriage. A fellow modeler on that site  had the parts and cast copies for me so I was ready to build my own “Toilet Bomber”.  Hub Plott
