1/48 F4D Skyray

I finished this Skyray in the markings of the airplane that held 5 Time To Climb records. I changed the IP to include a test equipment panel, added the data probe from the old Lindberg kit, filled in the gun and tailhook areas, and swapped out the engine nozzle for a modified one from the Monogram F-101.

Looks very nice.  Is there any other kit of that plane other than the Lindberg kit?

Striking aircraft Darren. Glad to see you found an exhaust for it.

As you know, my eye goes to the "strange" parts of a build,,,,,,,it is great to see the two different International Oranges on one aircraft. Just curious, what did you use for the long wing stripes? (or were they decals from Cutting Edge?)

Good thing your build rate is so high, we get to see Navair quite often this way.

ps, I just had a thought, you would be the perfect guy to tackle the Super Tiger or the ROHR Tiger,,,,or both.

That is a very good looking build Darren.

I have The Tamiya kit in 1/48 and it's a great kit. If Tamiya would make a Tiger in 1/48.
