Thanks guys!

Looks beautiful Stik. Did the kit come with the RATO bottles or is that extra?

Good eye Chris! Those came with this kit. This build ended up being strictly OOB, aside from lead weight inside I even used the kit decals…

a real beauty! The scheme is great.

I was going to use some AM decals, but this scheme grew on me, so I went the red route…

Looking great. Beautiful airplane - right there at the goal line!

John, to my eye, this aircraft is like a 50’s hot rod, beefy & built for speed.

Well one quick session this morning and I got all the last bits finished… woo hoo!





I’ll get more photos up this afternoon… now to knock out that Hornet…

Nice clean build of a classic combat jet Stik!

Well done Stik. That articulated canopy just seals the deal on the F model for me. Unique and extra interest. She turned out great!

Chris and John, thank you.

Chris, the aircraft is certainly a classic design. Not the best in its time, but it sure filled its new unique niche of long ranged tactical nuclear strike better than any other of its contemporaries.

A real sweetheart!

Thanks John. My appreciation for this aircraft type sure developed and grew during the research and build of this project.
