ha ha I was thinking the same thing about those stencils. I mean you got to really motivate yourself to sit there and put them on. Nice work!

Just looking at al those stencils is making me go cross-eyed. Must have taken a while to get then all on and in the correct position.

Damm the glue is getting to me

Fabulous job. Hard to make an F-4 look bad, but harder still to make it look that good. Or go crazy while setting all those decals...
