No inner gear doors, single 90 w/9 blade fan, no complicated slat system helps keep cost down and better performance, and I appreciate what you guys did! Thank you!
Having a grey model would ease the guiltiness for many. lol

Just wait to see if they decide to do a grey livery of some type or better yet a base gray version later. It would save you some work.

According to another poster, they demisions on the exhaust are 52ID-65ODmm. These are the closest I've found but they may require a little grinding on the id (if possible) so as not to affect the eflux:

I would most likely get the SEA camo if there were more options . But I can already imagine someone hesitating weather to paint over that excellent paint work just to have their dream livery.

The fact this bird has been just short of screamed to be produced, is produced, and there are still complaints disguised as "recommendations?" Let's not poke the bear with this stuff, only days after its announcement. Trust the plan; perhaps they wanted to test the market with jungle and may add another scheme later. Otherwise make it a fun project to customize how you prefer!
Certainly all that are posting here are appreciative. But before we go trying to make improvements from our armchairs, let's just smile and be thankful yes?
I am even more surprised that the Base Gray option is not available on models that are even more popular than the Hawk.
So my recommendation was for there to be a gray version later on once production got going and delivered to offer more options for future customers or even 2nd time buyers that are happy with the SEA camo but are wanting to do one in a favorite Navy or Marine Livery.

If I like the paint scheme of a model, but am on the fence over a repaint, i wait for a mishap. If the stock paint gets worn or I crash, then i do a repaint. I cartwheeled with my FMS corsair and had to replace the wings. So i repainted to a more scale blue and added some vinyl from calie graphics and bam! New plane ;)1 Photo

These lights were produced by an Austrian company called Uni Light. They are sold in the USA by Dreamworks. Here is a link:

Not sure if they have the entire line listed (I haven't gone through the manufacturer's whole site yet), but the company is at http://www.unilight.at. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they make a ring small enough for this F-4.

He is pilot Nathan. I am the event coordinator of our club and we are trying to arrange an event for a local boy scout troupe to come out to the field for some hands on buddy boxing, flight sim time, maybe some FPV ride-a-longs and possibly some AMA ALPHA's. No similarity to our own Alpha...

I am not disappointed at all with the SEA scheme, heck this is my preferred scheme. But as you well know one option is never a one size fits all for many. Everyone has their dream livery. And with a model like the F-4 that was in wide spread use there were many more liveries for the Grey Navy versions. I am sure if there was even a base Grey version like the one offered for the Hawk T1 intended for full customizing that it would be just as popular as the SEA.
