depends on the painting style & weathering you wanna go for mate.
blue one surely looks spiffy but with that many markings on it, conforming them colorful decals to the paintjob is going to be tremendous work.

Salty them dogz! As a test squadron you can load her up with literally anything.

I'd say Salty Dogs. Really colourful, especially the tail art.
But that would mean a lot of more work as Murad pointed out.
Whatever you choose, I'll still be taking a seat, mate. 🙂 👍

Ok, the decision has been made: It will be the Bones!
I'm going to do a "double" build with the Scorpions G.
The trophy for the most creative suggestion clearly goes to Konrad Limmer 😄

Welcome Sergej! Nice to have you here!
Since I just got out of the cinema and watched Top Gun Maverick, I now feel like building a navy jet. So let's tackle it 😄

Got it a few days ago. It sweeped all existing projects off my bench 🙂 No work yet due to being tired everytime I get home but hopefully I will start it in a couple of weeks.

Will definitely follow your build when you start! I've already started and I have to say: the kit is a dream. Just like the "E" I built. It's hard to say why it's so awesome, but the kit is so much fun!

Welcome Tommy and David! Nice to have you aboard!
Fuselage Assembled. Cockpit not quite finished yet. Missing a bit more dust/bleaching/weathering and the pilots.

@NIK666 Подгонка была довольно хорошей. Единственная проблема заключалась в том, что задняя часть кабины пилота слишком широка и не помещается в верхнюю половину фюзеляжа.
Maciej, I had a bit of mojo 😄
Thanks Juskifo 🙏

Primed with AK Primer and Microfiller and some mottling with Tamiya white + grey.

Thanks Chan 🙏
Unfortunately there are no decals for the yellow. Do you have to spray it yourself.
After an hour of cursing, I'm happy with the result 😄

The yellow now looks way nicer than decals, probably your cursing worked 😎. (Kidding)
I have number 200 of VFA-103 too, but it's a naval F-4. Will build it maybe next year.
This kit has salty dog decals?

Chan, no this kit doesn't included the salty dog decals.
It's from here:

Thank you Guy and Juskifo!
Some progress: Decals almost done ... Are felt more stencils than the "E" had.
PS: Don't use Tamiyas Mark Fit "Strong". That almost dissolves the Meng Decals 😄

Just saw this. Great job as always! I did the Salty Dogs with the Revell kit that was boxed with those markings. It does stand out. You should go ahead and do one since you have the decals. 😉

As an aircraft builder too, I saw a tasty result.
Decals are very carefully handled, almost perfect in positioning and surfacing fitness.
Canopy is flawless.
Weapons are good in variety, also carefully handled.
Unbalanced weaponry creates a kind of random beauty.
Solid gear bay and landing gears.
Fair weathering.
Accurate color distribution.

It is always damn hard to write a comment for such work.
What else can I say that has not already been said?
But you can be sure, that I am impressed by your performance!

Amazing Roland! What a beauty. 👍
How do you achieve such a perfect finish with the decals? Did you sand them? Flat coat?

I really like the gloss/matte contrast on this jet, many modellers neglect this on the cag birds (ok, small but if I may: the pizza box should be excluded from the shinyness 🤓)Lovely job and tasty photography as well👌🏻

Oh, wow! Thank you all for your kind comments! That means a lot to me! Much appreciated! Cheers 🙂
Despite a few small errors regarding the fit, it was a great kit for me. It offers the perfect balance between little effort and a relatively large number of details. You can build it quickly and get an IMHO accurate model . But I'm not a rhino expert. Only the nozzles I find a bit loveless in the level of detail.
@ Donald I've of course already inspected your beautiful "Salty Dogs" 😉 It's still on my "To-Do" list (which is getting longer and longer) 😄
@ Robin The decals are very good and very thin. They nestle very well with Revell's "Decal Soft". Tamiya's "Mark Fit" also works very well. BUT PLEASE DO NOT USE Tamiya Mark Fit STRONG or SUPER STRONG. This almost completely dissolves the decal and allows it to stick together.
@ Daniel Of course, nothing escapes the "Rhino Whisperer". You're right: the pizza box should be matte or semi-matte. I uploaded the pictures and immediately realized that I forgot something. Now the pizza box is actually matted 😄

Oh, thanks for the heads up. 👍
I will the Revell one on my E. I use Tamiya usually.

Robin, The "normal" Tamiya mark fit works fine. Seems to have the same focus as the Revell. Only the "Strong" and "Super Strong" variants are "dangerous".
