Breaking out the enamels and effects.

AMA 1102566 -
Have most of the graphics by Callie, (EXCELLENT, as usual.) on mine, depicting F-4C 63-7535, as on display at Holloman AFB museum. This aircraft was flown by (then) 1st.Lt Wilbur J. (Joe) Latham. (Now Col. USAF Ret.) when he shot down a MiG-21 on Nov. 6th, 1966. At the time of the shootdown, the aircraft was devoid of all markings except a smaller Star & Bar, and the aircraft number on the tail in black. It also did not have the "slime lights" yet.
Joe lives in Marshalltown, Iowa, where my clubs flying field is, and he came out for the maiden on May 26th, the day before I left for Texas for my granddaughter's graduation. Two flights on maiden day, hasn't flown since. To windy today, so just took pictures. Will get more pics, with Joe holding it, in a couple weeks.
Still a few nomenclature/caution graphics to install, and a detailed cockpit, (non-flying,) to do. Also need to get touchup paint from Home Depot. Testors Model Master Acrylic colors do NOT match. All to dark. The Camo Gray on the bottom is very close, Tan close, but both greens way off.

My friend crashed his yesterday. I should off told him no as he needs more practice in flying. He took it off and was having issues , i told him many times in the video to give it to me . He hands over the transmitter right when it was over my head. I did pull out but the stupid drinking fountain was in the way. Lesson learned. But hes going to buy an ARF and switch stuff overComment
