Hey Dutch it looks like your building every single produced phantom II as a 1/48 model!! 😉. I'm in too 👍

Don & Konrad, I appreciate the vote of confidence, but neither I can't afford nor do I have the space or time to build every model of the F-4 in 1:48 scale. I tried that 30 years ago in 1:72 scale. I was single back then and wallet free. I built ~60 F-4s then. But I never built an early prototype F4H model. Hence this project. I just love all that bright orange.

yeah, something definitely appealing about warbirds with colourful schemes on them 🙂

Just hanging 24 500 # bombs on an F-4 is awesome.
