Hey thanks USCGMK2.
I still have extra decals to build another one (below) which I also really like to have in my collection.

That is really neat!

I grew up with the Vietnam War and never saw those markings or scheme, just the more U.S. type.

I am working on a HM Skyraider that will look like yours. I used tamiya red brown and russian green, but I like the green you used, what shade is it? I love VNAF Skyraiders especially the early 60's gray ones with all the fuselage pattern bands.

Thanks.
I used normal Tamiya flat green.
I've decided to build another Skyraider like the one in 1st picture with yellow & black pattern band.
