Originally I was planning on trying to build either an EC-135 or an EP-3C...but with my extremely chaotic work schedule and getting back into cycling I know the odds were great that it would end up being yet another model I've started for a GB but wouldn't get finished. Sooo, I think I'll try to take this opportunity to play along (and forgo gallery participation) and try to get a couple stragglers knocked out. Admittedly the RA-5C will probably be a tough ask, but I don't see much reason I can't get the RF-4E off the desk. We'll see how this goes.
RA-5C Vigilante - RVAH-6 - USN photo recon bird in service from 1963-1979 when it was replaced by the RF-8 Crusader. This model is being built as a commemorative build in memory of a member on another forum, so there will be some markings on the model that were not on an actual aircraft.
RF-4E Phantom II - RG 51 - Luftwaffe photo recon bird in service from 1971 to 1994. This build was initially started for the '70s NATO/Warsaw GB here @ BM.
