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…

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

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.
