Douglas TA-4J Skyhawk - US Navy VT-7USS Lexington

Bonjour chers iModelers,
This is my rendition of the colourful of the VT-7. This version is quite known, but I wanted to have it in my showcase !
The kits comes with some issues, as often with this brand. But the finesse of the engraved panels is really something, and overall, shapes and dimensions are loyal to the real bird.
Hope you like it 😉
