My brother was in the Air Force and worked on these planes in Thailand in
1965. I would like to surprise him with a built model and plan to use one of the 1/32 Tamiya kits. Unfortunately I don't know anything about these planes and can't really use his experiences to guide me. As I understand it, there are three Tamiya kits available. Which one should I use as the base model, and where can go to learn more about the appearance of this plane? I suspect decals will be the trickiest part.
I'm a middle-level experienced modeler, and I want to build this one well, but I'm not planning to go over the top on it. I'll do PE and the like, but I don't plan to spend hundreds of hours on this model. Any help would be much appreciated.
