  1. 25 ish years ago, towards the end of my first modeling "career" I built a German F-4 (I believe from a Hasegawa kit). I did an ok job and now I'm back in the saddle, I've decided it's probably the only one from that time that's good enough to bother hanging on to. Since I completed it, it's moved house 4 times, including moving from Kent to Ireland, it's been in storage twice for about 4 years total and more recently it took a tumble when some builders with a Kango destroyed the shelf it sat on. So here it is... I think the thing I like, is that I did an ok job of the paint work and the panel lines which in those days I was doing with India ink. The canopy was destroyed, but the Showtime 100 kit I have in the stash came with 2, the regular parts for the open canopies, and a one piece closed canopy. So I've taken the closed one and painted it xf-22 RLM grey which seems to be a good match to the colour on the nose. Now might be a good time to mention that I have no idea how much effort I put in to matching the colours and I would've had a mix of Humbrol enamels and Tamiya at my disposal. So I have a number of things that I need help with. Firstly some, but not all of the decals are in poor condition I have a fantastic set of HaHen decals But I'm not sure to what degree should I use them? Do I just replace the ones that are damaged, preserving the effort of my youth as much as possible but kinda wasting most of this HaHen set? Our do I strip them all off, use all the new ones in the knowledge it was the paint work and panel lines that I wanted to preserve? The second question is about the load-out / payload. The outside positions used to have something that I'm guessing were drop tanks. But now there's just holes. I have these tanks, which I think are off a UK phantom (again a victim of the builders) But they're not great quality and I'm not 100% confident that I could colour match them to the model. So I'm wondering about having nothing in those outboard positions? In that case would it be an empty pylon ( I can get 2 from the Showtime kit) or would there be nothing at all? Thanks for any help & advice
