You know, it is such an iconic bird of its time during the Vietnam Conflict but I never found it appealing to build one. I don’t know why. Maybe I need to add one to the stash someday.

I got all the painting done and a clear coat getting ready to start decals. I painted the large USAF with a vinyl mask made with my portrait cutter

You guys who do the stencil painted markings are impressive!

It's just as easy as trying to position a decal but looks much better in the end
