72modeler Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Those were the days! Nice footage of Blue Angels F9F-8 Cougars at an airshow- such a beautiful airplane! The Essex class carrier visible in the film appears to be CV-40, USS Tarawa. Footage via YouTube. Mike 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hasegawa kit is still a very serviceable kit, shame there's next to no decent aftermarket decals for the kit, there's plenty of attractive colour schemes for in-service units.
