Nigerian Super Etenard

[anthonyp]

Here's a 1/72 Super Etenard, flying for the Nigerian Navy.  I had no idea what the Nigerian Navy was painted like before I began, nor do I have any idea what they look like after.  This is the more detailed kit I bought, but I can't remember if it's a Heller kit, or some other brand.  All's I know is it's not the same kit as the Airfix one, and I like this one better.

Backstory is pretty much non-existant.  At one point, I had it flying off the deck of the ex-Graf Zepplin (not scuttled at Stettin, taken as a war prize by the RN, then sold off in the late-40's to Nigeria, for scrapping or some reason, but it eventually entered service), but eventually changed the ship to a Majestic class carrier.

It's armed with two early model AIM-9's and two early model AGM-65's.
