VF74 Skyray

[Ralph]

Latest off the line, and my first Light Gull Grey over White Navy plane! Tamiya's 1/72 'Ford' is a gem of a kit- couldn't fault its looks nor fit! I went for the Cut Then Add Skyray decal sheet because of the Vf74 red lightning bolt and tan radome, but I could be tempted to build another just to use the Vf213 blue and white checkerboard markings! Anyway OOB aside from that; Tamiya white for the underside  and AK interactive for the LGG.

Great looking Skyray, another plane I have admired for many years.

A nice and clean finish of a stupendous-looking US Navy plane.

Well done.

Very nice! A favorite aircraft from my childhood. The Tamiya kit is definitely superior to the ancient Hawk (or even, Airfix) offerings!

Very smart Skyray and a great choice of markings - well done!

Lovely job on that Ford! I hope mine turns out as nicely as yours, if I ever get around to it.

Great result and an intriguing aircraft.

Nice job, Ralph. A refreshing choice of markings, compared to the overdone F4D Skyray cliche paint schemes.
