Tom
So, this is another new one...CAP Mission 1972 on the way to the cat!

Maciej Bellos
Good looking Phantom! Well done!

Jos Jansen
Beautiful

Hanno Kleinecke
Superb looking Rhino Thomas ! What is the reason for that yellowish hue at the flanks ?

Tom
Thank you all! Hanno: Corrosion. They used simple spray cans on the ship in Vietnam. Even with zinc chromate primer

Neuling
Very interesting. Careless they were, not thinking about the problems modellers would have ....... Very beautiful build, deserves more pictures!

Spanjaard
i fully agree with Neuling 🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks for that info Thomas, never would have guessed. Like Neuling said.......
Careless days were these, using this toxic paint out of ozon killing spraycans, no doubt ! 😄

Arif Saeed
Great job Thomas 👏👏

Tom
Thank you mates! Yes Neuling, there were a lot of patches to spray! Yes Hanno, much more dangerous compared to Sparrows, dumb bombs, Sidewinders and so on.... 😄😄😄😄😄😄

Bernhard Schrock
Very interesting build/version especially the repairs with zinc chromate primer.

Tom
Thank you Bernhard!

Patrick Hagelstein
Beautiful and with care for those specific details. That's one of the many reasons I like modeling, to look up specific details and learn about things I previously had no notion of. Thanks for the explanation and showing us this awesome build! ☺️

Tom
Thank you, Patrick!
