F-4J Phantom II
Painting of body completed.
All decals applied.
I think I didn't apply good enough layer of clear varnish (Pledge wax). No matter how much I tried to get the decal to properly set with micro-sol, it didn't improve the situation much. Lesson learned: always apply two layers of Pledge.
Photos on the box show decals that aren't included or are different.
