The VC-8 composite fleet squadron was created in NAS Roosevelt Roads ( Puerto Rico ) in 1965. They flew number of aircraft, including F-9 Cougars, F-8 Crusaders and A-4 Skyhawks as drone directors.
The specific engine grey/ international orange and yellow scheme was designed as a high visibility outfit to clearly identity the manned drone director aircraft from the unmanned flying targets.
This is the price of the painting services to be added to the kit costs.
