CAM decals went on without a fuss. Used some of the kit stencils aswell.

Next, weathering, but not too much on this one.

Been a couple of weeks since I picked this one up. Yesterday went for a simple oil wash in to all the panel lines, and some scorch marks around the cannons. This squadron and indeed this carrier were only in-theatre for a short time in 1970, so the aircraft wouldn't look as 'battered' as some of their 'cousins'.

Great looking bird. I got to see the Blue Angels fly the Skyhawks.

Thank you gentlemen, always appreciate your comments. As it turned-out I didn't get any work done on this today...

...the six-disc set of Star Wars arrived at 10am, and I sought-of lost track of time after that. All I know is that it's 1842 in the evening, and I'm faint with hunger, and my family think I've lost-my-mind somewhere in a Galaxy far, far away.
