82Whitey51 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Whoaaaaa...wicked nice job! I dig demo team birds, especially anything Blues or Thunderbirds. That looks really nice. Built out of the box, kit decals? What yellow did you use? Nice job getting the wheels wells and struts right...a lot of times you see these painted like a regular Bearcat.

This kit was built oob using the kit decals that are super excellent. I used Testors Model Master insignia yellow which has a slight yellow orange tint to it. I just tried to match the one from the real photos. I did miss a few things, the black wing walks and if I'm correct, there is no US NAVY on the top wings and actually carry them on both sides of the underside wings, but couldnt find any more good references,although there could be a few different variants,not sure.

82Whitey51 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yes, they did have a couple variants, may have been the same serial (Bureau) number but you will see photos with and without the polished leading edges. Yeah, the "U.S. NAVY" should be on the underside only but not everyone is going to know that. Looks great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
