Very nice tribute to a grand old bird. The A-4, C130, and the B-52s are all early 1950s production aircraft and they still serve on. 

 

Absolutely. The US taxpayer has definitely gotten his money's worth out of them, especially the B-52. The B-52s in service now, the H model, were built in 1960-61. A pretty good ROI, I'd say.

Great looking "Scooter".  One of my favorite post-war aircraft.  I still want to do a 1/32 one in honoy of Sen. John McCain.

Thanks, Tom. Revell has a 1/48 boxing with an option to build his VA-46 bird. It's a Blue Angels boxing, if memory serves. It was one of the first really good builds I did after getting back into this.

Looks great those were very nice kits.

You inspired me to look into enlarging the stash with one.

In fact,I just visited Scalehobbyist Big Smile

 

Glad I could help!
