Trumpeter 1/72 US Navy RA-5C Vigilante.

All things jet, no props and Stik...no armor even though the M1 is turbin powered.

Thanks so much. Got lucky with those. No modifications needed, other than chopping off the shirt clips.

I am looking forward to what you’re gonna do on the Monogram kit. I love your outside the box thinking for the exhausts and bomb bay fairing cover.
You have this well in hand.

Excellent work and progress!

Bruce, I'm finally back from Comicon and done with a few jobs and now I have time to find this and catch up. You've done some tremendous progress here and I am most impressed with your brilliant idea for fixing the engines and bomb opening with the items you used. Way to go my friend! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:
