Vought F7U-3 Cutlass.

I have been working, on and off, re-coloring this beast for years.
I was freaked out by the green flight deck when I got mine from John Hathaway
Decades ago [1978]. It's been in hibernation since....but I'm getting close. There's a lot
of acreage on this one! I always follow the Forrestal builds on Kartonbau.de for inspiration!

Excellent results Adolf, thanks for posting here as well.

regards,
