Check out the Yak 38 'Forger', the poor copy of the Harrier, and the F3H Demon, the fighter everyone hated. Like them or not, they are none the less part of naval aviation history. Not too long ago, if you wanted either of these classics you would have to compromise with a nasty vac-from kit or something expensive in resin, and probably accept 1/72 scale. If I had given one of those a go it would have been three months on the workbench and then a short chuck into the naughty box. These days you only have to wish, and as long as you're prepared to pay, you can have what you want.
Not only are both these kits beautifully moulded with four decal options each, but they are also attractively priced. When I've got my references together I will be getting the builds underway. For the moment, can you guess what is in the photo? I'll be disappointed if you can't. It's a project close to finishing, so more photos of it soon.

F-100 Super Sabre ?
I think its SE Asia camoflague and the US insignia leads me to think it's this aircraft
It is indeed. It was a great build, and glad to share it on here. How's with you, Goose?
Nice work Phil. I'm well, but not getting the results on my kits as i would like them. Must need more time, research and more techniques to hone my skills to have results like yours
That's kind of you. I knew the fifty years would come in useful somewhere! I remember once reading a comment by a famous golfer; someone said how lucky he was to do so well, and he replied "It's funny - the more I practice the luckier I get".
