Thanks all in the agreement. I don't really see all that much wrong with the design of the kit but we'll see as it goes buy. The nice thing about the F2H-2 is that the cockpit is BLACK! The nice thing about the -2P is the nose compartment is BLACK! KH designed in a really nice camera bay along with all the cameras, but did not give options to open the bay. I may screw this all up early as I plan to open the bay for display. Now KH calles for interior green in the camra bay but this is incorrect. Some cameras were (are) grey in color but for the most part black is where it's at. I went ahead and started by shooting the sprue parts for the cockpit and camera bay all flat black using Vallejo Air Colors.

I am also posting images from the internet for VMJ-1 Photo Banshee's.

and my paint spittn'

Good work so far!

 

[Donivanp]

Black is black, I want my baby back Oh no, What should I do, I'm feeling blue

 

[Wurger]

Black is black,

Actually no, it is not. There is as many black tones as it has the colour pic for the model that is building.

 

[Airframes]

Unless the colour pic is a negative, and then the black won't be black ................... I'm outta here !
