Nice work, Michael (@michaelt). Everything is really coming together. I was stationed at an F-4 base in the 1970s and remember the camo going fairly deep into the intakes. I always thought it was because the intakes were so big that they needed the extra coverage. Deep in the recesses of my mind I also remember hearing that the reason F-4s had both ailerons and spoilers for turning was that it improved lateral tracking of a ground target, but don't quote me. Looking forward to the rest of the build.

Black primer coat applied.

Nice primer, will be a perfect base for the chosen colors, Michael @michaelt

I’m also building a 1/72 Revell RF-4E and am testing out metalic paints on it. I’ve never realy done a heat stained metal surface before.

All looking good, my friend @michaelt!

A great scheme indeed, Michael @michaelt
Beautifully painted.

Dark green looks excellent, my friend @michaelt!
