I first saw a SNJ around 1961 i was all of five years old. We lived close to Flushing airport in a part of Queens NY. You could see the airfield from my bedroom window. Hearing six radial engines taking of one after another, I could [...]
I posted this one on Britmodleller but want to share here too.
I employed the Quinta cockpit decal set, Pavla resin seats, Reskit rocket pods & Xtradecals sheet for an early 1966 HMS Triumph bird. It is painted with Gunze paints [...]
