nice model, is RCN on the picture name meaning Royal Canadian Navy? bought as second hand? :)
Yes, trying to think of a good back story. Maybe, Canada bought & manufactured A-4's for it's light fighter instead of the F-5. Also, Canadian Navy bought A-4's for it's Banshee replacement and kept the Bonaventure until the mid 70's then replaced her with a CVV and did a Singapore/Brazil/New Zealand-type upgrade program on her A-4 fleet.
I've made good progress, painting is essentially finished but I think I'm going to need an extension as well - slight decal malfunction...
Cheers & happy modeling, Bryan
