Now that Fundekals has released a decals sheets of the first F-4's flown by USAF . Time to start on my second Tamiya Phantom. So while USAF was waiting for C model to be produced McDonnell made a Few F-4B's and painted them in USAF markings so the air force could start trining the pilots. Plus the F-110A's also did numeruous testing . Missiles , nose and main gear basys pirmered with mrbase white 1000. The intakes was sprayed with mrbase white 1000 once gone sprayed with Tamiya Lacquer LP-2 Gloss White Here is some preogress pics . I am really hooked on using the Tamiya LP Lacquer paints . This build will beasy no wethering since this was a brand new Phantom

A superb entry and ditto progress, my friend @f-104nut! Really looking forward to it!

You are really moving along on this one, Brian (@f-104nut). Cockpit looks really nice. I like Fundekals, especially their comprehensive instructions/reference sheets. Early F-4s are one of my favorites. My first assignment in the Air Force was at Luke AFB, which was the F-4C RTU when I was there. Looking forward to the rest of the build.
