Fantastic build of the F-4 mate. I really must dig mine out of the stash and build it up soon! Have to be careful though as I get so much inspiration from you guys I might end up having 10 build in progress at the same time.

I love those older, more colourful jets! So much better than the plane Jane greys of today.
Good work, you must have the patience of a saint to do all that stencilling!

Amazing job there :) just bought the kit in preparation for the Vietnam GB later on in the year. I get the feeling I'll be expert at decaling by the time it's done :)
