Blue Angels F4D-1

I recently completed the basic construction an a 1/72 scale Airfix F4D-1 Skyray and I was trying to decide what paint scheme to use. When I was looking through my decal supply for another project, I found a sheet for the BA, F/A-18 Hornet. The two were a perfect match even though the real Blue Angels never flew this bird.

Splendid, Darwin, simply splendid.

Looks great Darwin, I´m sure the Blue Angels doesn´t mind.

Woooah… a Blue Angel Skyray!!! That’s BEAUTIFUL and original, Darwin, thanks!!! [:)]

Take care,

Very nice “What If” scheme. Kind of a shame it never actually flew in that livery. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome!

Great looking FORD. So who cares if isn’t accurate? Good idea.

Supercool! And it looks so natural in Blue Angels colors, too!

Well done Darwin, thanks for the peek…

That is a nice build, Darwin!

Looks like a natural to me, maybe the Blues SHOULD have flown it!! nice work!
