Nice choice! I’m gonna watch this one. I agree about the squadron markings and wonder why Revell chose those...
BTW, is yours gonna be a Top Hatter or a Fighting Red Cock?

That sounds like a really good idea Mike and pretty much the same thinking I had with my Hawk. Super detailing and planning is all very well, but sometimes nothing get the mojo going than just seeing some actual decent progression.
I like your choice of AM decals, especially the ips, belts and side panels!

This will actually be a dual build as I have two of the same kit. The first will be the Tophatters jet and the other will be a VFA-151 Vigilantes jet.

Test fitting the fuselage. It's gonna take a lot of clamps. Oh and really Revell, really? I thought we were past adding the born on date on the outside.
