Really great job. I’ve seen photos of really dirty Greek F-4s so I think yours looks fantastic. 

One question - What did you use for the landing gear downlocks?  In the WIP topic it looks like you just painted the retraction cylinders red, but did you put a sleeve over them?  

Hi Mark, glad you like it!  In answer to your question, looking at photo's of the ground locks i noticed that there were grooves running along the length of them so i simply added 3 pieces of 0.3mm rod to each strut and painted them red, pretty simple really!

I like it but sadly I have a criticism. It just isn't weathered enough for a Greek F4. 🤔

Hi Noel, I'm afraid i chickened out of weathering it to replicate a 'really dirty' Greek line bird. I thought if i went to far it would just look unrealistic and probably beyond my skills anyway!
