Post WW2 both the Navy and Marine Corps adopted glossy sea blue (ANA 623 ) as their predominant color.

Oops, I didn’t know that! Thanks for correcting me.

I ordered some missiles and bombs...
Today the above set arrived that has cluster bombs and some air to air missiles. There are more of each kind than what's shown above, typically 6 each.
This set is on the way, which is air to ground missiles.
The main reason I purchased these is that I have 22 jets still in boxes., and I looked at building my A-10 Warthog next...and it comes with a lot of pylons, but no ordinance at all in the kit! Also my F-15 needs to have the pylons filled, as I only have 2 sidewinders on it right now. So this will probably be my next project, to build all of these and have them ready to add to aircraft as needed.

F7F Tigercat update…
After building the engine and cowling sub assemblies, I built one wing assembly that has the engine nacelle and landing gear.
I am currently working on the other side now.
Once both sides are done, I can start final paint and decals. I will add the engine and cowling assemblies during that time.
See ya next time…
