stencils were not re-instated

 

Excellent work again, Russ, on my favourite jet fighter. It looks sooo good without the usual maze of stencils. Although those may be technically correct for modern combat planes, in my opinion they destroy the sleek looks.

 

Cheers, Michael

Hey Russ, that is a great looking Phantom.  Nice touch leaving the wing drop tanks off 👍

 

The Academy F-4 is really good value for money and, with so many lovely schemes available for this iconic Cold War Warrior, it would be easy to get carried away!

 

Nice subtle weathering too, looks spot on.

That's a beauty, Russ. Fantastic work! I seem to recall reading about Mad dog's exploits in the book "...And Kill MiGs!"

I thought the first photo was picture of the original! 🤩

Seriously lol! Love it. I also think you answered my question on the wing leading edge. I was wondering if they were bare steel , or alloy like the USAF F4c delivered in gull gray. Looks like you aswered it. TY for sharing.

Thanks Charles, the silver on the leading edges was a protective coat called corrogard, not all F-4B`s had it, as these were reworked and repainted airframes and from looking at photo`s I decided it probably had it applied.

I don`t what I am impressed with more Russ…………your outstanding skills or that you turn out these time consuming kits in a larger scale at an incredible rate.  Either way, I applaud another brilliant work of art from you. :clap2:

That rates a BIG WOW from me. I really like those Navy F-4Bs & this one ticks all the boxes. :)
