In his first review for Aeroscale, Ross Mahoney takes a look at Trumpeter''s 1/72 scale kit of that all-time jet classic - the North American Vigilante.

A good review of a nice kit. I have one in my stash.

A few points. The kit depicts the late version of the RA-5C with the leading edge extension and straight intake sides. These Vigilantes were built between 1968 - 1970. The kit also includes a number of under wing stores: Electronic strobe lights for nocturnal missions, pairs of Mk-28 and Mk-43 nuclear "shapes".

Hi Rowan - Well we got there in the end with it. :-)

David - Cheers for that. I'm hoping someone does some nice decals for it eventually.
