Tom’s Modelworks is your best bet. They have some of your aircraft categorized under Vietnam War and Modern Aircraft in 1/700 . Probably can be upscaled to 1/350. Northview Foundry offerings are excellent and in that scale you probably could get also kinds of goodies like folded wings, drop tanks and weapons on pylons 3D printed one piece. I detest having to put little pieces on little pieces to make a big piece.
Send Richard an e-mail of your needs , if you don’t see it that does not mean the design is not in file so do ask.
Northview Foundry did all my USN 1/700 WW2 aircraft plus propellers . For me it was money very well spent. Customer service oriented , stayed in communication with me, produced quality , fast delivery. No headaches and no regrets .

Does anyone know of a 3D maker offering USN planes of the Vietnam War (NOT LARSENAL!!!)??? While I am still clinging to the last threads of hope that L'arsenal is going to make right on my order from 9 or 10 months ago, I need to see if there is another option as my USS Kitty Hawk is nearing completion with a naked flight deck. With so many 3d print options out there now, I am hoping there is a source for the planes I need that I am not familiar with.
I have a mix of trumpeter, tamiya, and old l'arsenal resin planes, but these are all very long in the tooth and I am hoping to find higher-quality/detailed planes to put on this carrier I have spent so many years super-detailing and back-dating. I would really prefer to use something a bit higher quality.
Specifically I am looking for phantoms, skyraiders, sky warriors, skyhawks, intruders, and vigilantes.
As an aside, my personal facebook was hacked (so I am also locked out of my "scale fleet models" page) a couple weeks ago and I have not been able to recover the account, so my apologies to anyone who has been messaging me on there.
