PRICES MAY VARY. It was the largest airplane to be launched from a carrier on a regular basis until the Vigilante came along. That size caused the operators to name it “The Whale” and no one in the fleet ever called it “Skywarrior”. Though fewer than 300 were built, and the mission for which it was designed disappeared, its adaptable airframe created several new missions and it served the fleet for 30 years. It was an easy airplane to fly, but not so easy to bring aboard, as evidenced by a pair

After a lot of head-scratching and tinkering, my Skywarrior model has seen a fair bit of progress. The wing (not shown) is practically done and I've made a good start on the fuselage. There is loads more work, obviously, but a few problem areas are done (main gear, nose, windscreen). The white headlight bricks in the side and the green plates near the cockpit are placeholders. The particular version I am building is an A-3B bomber as operated by VAH-6 "Fleurs" aboard the USS Forrestal in 1965. At the time, these jet still had a strike mission, but were also commonly fitted with an air-to-air refuelling system in the bomb bay.
