    Morne, lovely series of photos of Fighting 111 and 84, including a CAG, no less. The corrosion control and wear are also notable and helpful, provided you don't want to look like the plane is just out of rework. Great selections! Both units are favorites of mine, thinking the Skull and crossbones by a slight head. Lotta inspiration there, thanks for collecting and posting them for us.

    I noticed that the VF 111 Phantom in photo number 8 is a bicentennial aircraft carrying the '76 logo. That's very subdued in comparison with markings sported by other Phantom squadrons.

    Note that the Sundowner in the upper right corner is actually a model, I think it was posted on Zone Five or ARC. Great shot though!

    It really is isn't it? The photography and photoshopping is also just a notch above the average!

    Well - now I'm in a quandry! I have decals for a Sundowner, and an old Monogram J in my stash - and I'm thinking of swapping the Israeli E I was going to do for the Sundowner...

    Photoshopping has created quite a stir on another forum when it came to light how it was used to hide mistakes on models that was featured on forums and magazines.

    You can never have enough US Navy Phantoms! I think we will see many Sundowners by August!

    Thanks for sharing these pictures, Morne. You can never have enough F-4s and good reference as well !
    There will be also a Sundowner outside of this GB. I will finish my current F-4 build to replace it with ...another F-4 🙂
