As normal for the
last couple years, another group build build. This time for the McDonald Douglas
group build. The choice for me this time is VFA-87 of CVW-8. The catalyst for
this decision was the wonderful new decal sheet by Afterburner decals. I wanted
to do a low vis to go along with the high vis one I did a couple years ago. Only
problem was the Afterburner sheet came with so MANY great options. I decided the
CAG bird with the CVW-8 shield HAD to be done. So the old CAG bird I did several
years ago was repainted.

Besides the great
Afterburner decal sheet items used for the low vis build include some
spare parts from a Black Box cockpit set and wing folds from JF models. I
have no idea where to get these from as I got the wing folds in a trade
from Tony Hayes. The model itself came from a trade with Dong. Perhaps it
was the other way around? Seems a great chunk of my builds of late have
come from these guys stashes.
And that's about it.
