Wonderful whif, great modelling , but wouldn’t the USAF have used it in the fighter role to combat those nasty MiGs ?

That is a beautiful looking model....congratulations!

I have one of these in the stash that I picked up for less than £10. I recently tried to sell it on ebay for a modest sum but absolutely no one wanted it....not even any silly offers!

I'm now most definitely not going to sell it and am looking forward to building it....who knew it was such a nice kit and could turn out looking so good!

My thoughts are that the USAF had enough fighters and as this is based at Da Nang with the USMC F-8 providing CAS missions, can also use USMC aircraft support services.

Cheers buddy, I picked this up for £5 at the Bolton model show earlier this year!!!  Biggest bargain ever!  Don't sell yours - build it, especially if its one with the Cartograph decals.
