Did this one up for my American Air Combat Hall of Fame collection. It's the top-scoring Crusader airframe and featured in an article in FSM. At first, I had painted the radome black, but after obtaining a beautiful art print by Phil West, I repainted it white. After the article came out, someone found a photo of this aircraft at the time of the MiG kills, and sure enough, it had a black radome. I just might paint it that way someday. I also dropped the leading and trailing edge flaps. Decals came from Japan, but I can't recall the manufacturer.
