How is the "beehive" coming. I hope you saved the info or even better have some duplicate parts. I would really love to backdate mine. It may mean pulling off the Phantoms from my Nimitz, but I've got a couple boxes of Tomcats and Hornets I can replace them with.

this is my test mule A-4F for the Starfighter decals. the tailplanes need to be thin down and the overall model needs a very light sanding to get the seams out. but this is a well detail little model.
