I like those metal clips that get a grip on the little tabs, very handy. Great choice of scheme too.

That is looking very smart 8-)

Very nice, I like the colour scheme, and am partial to a fully loaded bird myself ;-) Well done.

Great build and what a choice of bombs and rockets. Do you think the pilot ever pushed the wrong button?

Thank you Guys!
Pilot could not be mistaken, if only it was north-Vietnamese pilot on trophy Skyraider. Communists get five Skyraiders like trophy on Tan Son Nhut Air Base in late 1975.
And except this: 23 Cessna A-37, 41 the Northrop F-5, 50 helicopters UH-1, 5 helicopters CH-47, 5 U-6A. 15 aircraft U-17, 41 L-19, 28 C-7A, 36 C-119, 18 T-41, 21 C-47, 7 C-130, 3 DC-7, 5 DC-4 and 2 DC-6.
