Hello everyone… Well Im going to give this a chance as I started it in the “Kit I built as a kid” group build a couple of years ago. It wasn't playing nice and co-operating so I shelved it to build a P-47 instead. The kit is the marking's of VMFP-3 and the early scheme is by far my favorite. https://www.airhistory.net/photo/292491/157345 I just love the green tail with Gold fox/bear on this plane it makes it very distinctive. I will post photo’s when I can get into my office tonight. Dennis

Hello everyone... Im going to be building an 1/48th RF-4B Phantom. It will be aircraft #7347 of VMFP in 1979. I built this kit sometime around ‘83-‘84 it was one of my best at that time as I took a careful approach to painting it. https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/0/0/6/657006-67-instructions.pdf Sadly it didn't survive, well at least not all of it. My friend asked if he could saw the nose off and use it for an RF-4C build in 1992. That model still live today in his collection. I would love to build the testors kit, with the Green tail and Gold wolfshead logo. However those kits & markings are as Rare as 🦄💩. Seeing as its the markings I'm wanting to replicate I will be building this kit Hasegawa kit # PT 31 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hasegawa-07231-mcdonnell-douglas-rf-4b-phantom-ii--114277 There F-4B kit with the appropriate changes in plastic to get an RF as well as the Correct Decals. This is a question for @Dansk as this kit is a pre-owned kit. My friend started the work many years ago and essentially it is many parts removed from the sprues. The wings are glued together and some of the cockpit is started. Does this fall under the 25% mark ? Please feel free to question, comment, and or post thoughts. Dennis
