This is my second entry into the Group Build! No real story behind this, other than that it was used to fly cover for the failed Operation Eagle Claw, the rescue of hostages in Iran, in 1980, however I won't be painting it like that. It will just look like a normal fleet aircraft would in the 1979/1980 period! I've heard nothing but good things about this kit, however this boxing of it has raised panel lines, which may cause problems when it comes to the seams.

Good choice Cory and yes it is a great kit, I've a couple sitting on my 56 Sqn line-up which I put together last year, all fittings were good and for an out of the box build, it's a great kit. I also have the VF-51 Screaming Eagle that Jan posted on shelf as well, again Hasegawa kit.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
