Best Marketing Picture for KsANG I ever saw and was seen around back in the day. Found on that Interwebnetdealie or possibly through "The F-4 Society", don't recall, but I can send you a JPEG via PM if you'd like. Get well, been fighting one myself for 15 days now. SierraBravoTango for sure. Best, LB

Will.patrone, I second (or is that 'I third it'?) what both HDWY & E4DG wrote! Incredible work, beautiful Phantom. Well Done. Best, LB

[Jets and Wings]

Welcome to HobbySquawk Will.patrone. Your Phantom looks great. I think the F-4 Phantom is one of the best looking planes ever....

Here is mine

[e4dragongunner]

Totally Agree... If I dork mine.... I would immediately replace... I will always own one!

Hello,
Little question after having made the step of the stikers, you varnish the model with an acrylic varnish?
Thank you .

[e4dragongunner]

I don't, But lots of guys do.
Adds a light layer of " ding " protection

LDV, I finish the entire model with Matte Clear or Gloss Clear Acrylic or Urethane after all the markings are in place. If I weather the aircraft, I will add another coat for protection and to even out all the added color. Best, LB

Hello phntm660 here is a link to the centerline tank published at Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3010216

Ludovic I recommend those pilot figures from Chris' website. I have used both the 1/12 and 1/10 in different aircraft. They're fun to paint. I use black Sharpie marker to color the tinted visor. The Sharpie marker's finish is shiny and doesn't leave any streaks.

[Radar-Guy]

Yep, crewed by JHH pilots. Visors covered with Future floor finish....
