I looked high and low for something unique from a squad we don't have with no luck yet. VF-85 seems to have plenty of pics and actual records that show which plane numbers where -1D's and -1C's thanks to former Shangri-La crew members putting the CV's history out there. In the picture the first row are -1D's and 2nd row are -1C's. I might go back and take the squad art off, they didn't have the numbers on the cowl and may not have had that either.

Keep bringing the bent wing love, squaddie. :)

CHOG! lol.
Amazing work! <S>

Looks great.
Only thing I'd adjust is to darken the Insignia Blue so it can be seen against the Sea Blue. I can only see it over the heavily faded paint on fabric part of the upper wing.

I never noticed it till I started doing this lol, it seems on carrier’s it was much more common and with more bizarre combos.

Really good looking skin Whiteman.
Anyone else remember the time when it seemed that every other plane in the MA was a C-Hog?

Just noticed #49 is a skin Saxman had done.
That one maybe up for adoption.
Edit: Just noticed I have a partial on #50 on file.
