You know, it is such an iconic bird of its time during the Vietnam Conflict but I never found it appealing to build one. I don’t know why. Maybe I need to add one to the stash someday.

I know you can do a better job of it that I can.

You should! Check out wings over Vietnam I think it's episode 1 is about the FAC you'll be wanting to build one after watching that

I got all the painting done and a clear coat getting ready to start decals. I painted the large USAF with a vinyl mask made with my portrait cutter
Thanks for looking in!
Skol!

It's just as easy as trying to position a decal but looks much better in the end
