This was built years ago before I stumbled onto the wash technique, one day I'll find the decals on the net and re-do her using the Academy kit.

Thank You Soheil, tonight I ordered the Furball 1/48 Rhino sheet 48-012, it has this Sqn 's markings included on the sheet as well as many more. So my next project will be building the Academy F-4B in the markings of VMFA-323.

You'll find the decals for VMFA-323 BuNo 152258 in Eduard's Good Morning Da Nang box. I'm sure that there's plenty of builders out there that have built the kit with either VF-84 or VF-111 decals so that would help you along if you can source the decals that way. Nice to see an older build of yours, I like it a lot!

That's alright Urban, but good to know. I just need to finish my base for my SA-6 and paint a couple of figures then I'll be crackin into her.

A bit odd to see it fully loaded but without any tanks.
