AMT/ Hasegawa's 1/72 kit, molds from 1968. Southeast Asia camouflage in lieu of typical grey/white US Navy scheme, based on a photo and illustrations I found online. I ad-libbed the camo pattern. Underside finish is local flat white spraypaint. Camouflage is pastel chalk over brush-painted craftstore acrylics. Original kit decals were too old to use, so I went with less-old ones from the scrapbox. They aren't a historical match with the paint scheme, but I like to go with what I have on hand. The inelegant refueling boom was deliberately omitted.
