Very detailed kit! All parts fit perfectly. Decals went on easier than expected. Since this was going to a vet from the 60s, I used A-6s and A-7s in place of The tomcats and hornets that came with the kit. By far my biggest challenge but had a blast building it.

I cut the wings and moved them to a stowed position on one of the Hawkeyes. Printed my own decals for tail flashes and wing numbers on the A6s and A-7s. Elevator and runway decals are best applied in smaller pieces.
