F-4J of VX-4 Point Mugu, 1/72 Monogram
The white bunny scheme was only carried on this F-4 for a few years in the seventies as opposed to the more famous black bunny. Aircraft was white, the markings were gray with no national insignias. I used Tamiyas US Navy insignia white rattle can AS-20, which might have been a mistake because there's a noticeable hint of grayish blue.
The kit was I used was a Monogram F-4C/D, with the appropriate naval modifications, removal of the nose I.R. probe,
proper turkey feathers [exhaust cans] Intake ECM antennas.
This is a beautiful Bunny, Robert @roofrat
Very nice and clean paintwork.
Nice for something not often seen! Looks great.
Very attractive scheme Robert. I loved build the 1/72 Phantoms and even rescribed a couple. But I used to struggle with those damn intakes. Argh!
The Monogram intakes can be a challenge.@angus64
A nice out-of-the-ordinary scheme to make an out-of-the-ordinary model.
Truly beautiful, Robert!
Well done!
Well done, Robert.
Sweet!
Nice work, Robert. That’s a scheme I’ve never seen before.
Nice work Rob, gotta love a Phantom, right ? . Any idea why this scheme was used ?
VX-4 was a test and evaluation squadron, that was the era of toning down the color schemes, perhaps they were testing the white and grey.@neil-foster.
I am in the middle of making F-4J with my two boys. We decided for Revell easy click, but Yours is way better fitted and made:). Nice job mate.
Nicely done Robert, she's a good looking bunny.
