A “Ford” I Like
We all run into those kits that for one reason or another turns into a challenge to complete and takes much longer than anticipated. Well this one turned out to be one of those for me. I won’t bore you with the details except to say that Walthers Solvaset and Testors Easy Lift Off work great!
So, here is my Tamiya 1/72 F4D Skyray making an even dozen kits completed so far this year.
4 additional images. Click to enlarge.

Excellent build of an aircraft that doesn't get built much!

Well done. Build and finish look great.
The Skyray….one of just a few models in 1/72 available from Tamiya. A good one.

Thanks for the compliments. Since I have some extra decals I lan on doing one or two more of these cool looking birds.

Your first sentence is so true. Looks like you won though, Scott; that's a really nice finish.

Looks great. And knowing the back story makes it all the more impressive.
Also, great milestone for the year. Are you going to make it a baker's dozen?

I should finish 3 more before the end of the year: GWH 1/144 Avro Vulcan, Monogram 1/72 F4b4, and Airfix 1/72 Harrier GR3. We shall see!
