By coincidence we’ve both done the same aircraft , in different liveries at different times, b/n 155861 first belonged to VF-84[your marvelous rendition] ,VF-31 and than VMFAT-101. The forward fuselage still survives at the Estrella Warbirds museum Pasa Robles, California
Outstanding Bob, I have this kit in the stash, and can’t wait to get into it hopefully within the next year. Your build is quite inspirational. Thanks for sharing, excellent images as well.
