Sword 1/72 F3D2 Skyknight, encore.
Why to build only one when you can build two at the same time? Same kit, same details and improvements than on the previous one but this time I used the kit decals, except the yellow strake on the nose that I preferred to paint it to keep the same yellow tone than on the tips, besides, the decal was shorter on the strake lenght. I based the finishing on some pictures on the F3D In Action book, hence it differs a little bit from the kit´s proposed scheme and I painted the external fuel tank´s tips on the trim color as an artistic license.
Nice build, looks like a lot more detailed than the old Matchbox
Hello. I´ve never seen the Matchbox one in the flesh, but I´ve read several times the same opinion.
Ruben...Man, I really dig your Skynight. Fine build and flawless finish. Great job.
Another fantastic 'Knight. I really like this yellow on blue Tophatter's scheme as well.
Thank you, Dark blue and yellow is always attractive.
A wonderful Skyknight, Ruben!
Thank you.
Great looking build.
Thank you for dropping a line here.
A really great build, Ruben @rubentorres
You have a nice pair together now.
Indeed!

A very solid build, the GSB finish is perfect! And the yellow details really pop out making this livery very appealing. Thumbs up!
Nicely done Ruben.
Another good job on this kit, Rubens.
Nice work. The Skyknight always seemed such an enigma in aerodynamics to me.
Man, that's great work! 👍 What a beauty, Ruben @rubentorres; that is a cool model, sir! 😃
Nice kit once finished, yeah.
Very nice work here @rubentorres. Both are great.
Thank you for your comment.
Another nice Skynight. Well done on both.
Nice job on both of your Skynights! Tempting to start my own.
Go for it!
Another lovely Skynight! Looks great.
