This was one of that builds I had planned as a second possible build for this GB, and actually one of the inspirations for the GB itself. I’ve had this model for a while now and have always wanted to build her. She’s a pretty basic model not much to her and surprisingly straight an not warped for a change…..ok the nose well bay is…no biggy. I’ll be doing the Marine version used in Korea, which was the last carrier based Nightfigher the US produced. Though it’s use in Korea by the Marines was off airfields. The Skyknight shot down more enemy aircraft then any other single type of naval aircaft for the loss of only one aircraft. I’ve made a sort of start….and lots of dust opening up the exhausts openings and intakes. I’m going to use some short pieces of brass tube to lengthen the intakes a bit as they were too shallow. There’s no surprises with this build so if should be quick and simple, once I get the intakes and exhaust areas sorted out.
