Flash to the finished model. It wasn't quite that fast. All of the aircraft specific markings were drawn in Corel Draw based on research by Ron Easley, crew chief on 57-427 which is in the collection of the Aerospace Museum of California at McClellan airport in Sacramento. These are the markings the airplane carried in March 1965 when assigned to the 2nd FIS, 52nd FG at Suffolk County Airport, New York. The base in these photos was built for me by James Steel in about 1997. The engine cart and B-4 stand were finished by James and are from the Revell F-102 kit from the 50's, a very rare and expensive collector kit. The decals were printed on an ALPS MD-1000, although the light blue portions of the fuselage flashes were overpainted with enamel, as that is a color the ALPS does poorly, at least the way I use it.
