Thanks everybody, and Lode you are correct I scratchbuilt the strips along the radome, I was going to make a mold of the aftermarket F-4EJ Kai nose that I have but I really couldn't be bothered maybe for the next Kai I will as the strips that I've put on are over sized, they should be much slimmer but that is the smallest strip Evergreen makes so it will have to do.🙂 I did cast the air intakes and the nozzles as well as the pit.😢

Hi Lode, I used MEK, it's like Tamiya Liquid Glue but dries quicker.

Got the main colour on now as well as the undercarriage, more pics when I get the radome painted and the second camo colour.🙂

So far, but I think that will change now I have to put on all the stencils decals.😢

The decals on this project were not the best, plus the kit decals were printed in 1994 and as such all the stencils aren't on but I did manage to get some on. I'm sure glad this is off my bench and in my cabinet now.😢

Thanks Lode, yeah I have few decal schemes like this in the stash, I've also got the red white and blue German F-4E with the white horse running down the side of the fuselage, maybe one day I'll do her as well.
