Well, as usual, I can't get the photos here. They are posted in the Gallery here though. This kit is the Tamiya F-4E with decals from the Revell Germany 1/32 Wild Horse kit. The Tamiya kit provided the best platform to build and the decals were great. Thank you Revell for having at least one good set out there. The Wild Horse was an anniversary paint job on one of their Phantoms. The actual layout varies alittle from mine. I hate working with gloss paints, I would much rather do my dirty Navy and Marine Corp aircraft. It was fun though , but now I get back to the real deal. Hope you enjoy the change from dull grey.

That's one sweet lookin' plane!!! I like the color - change of pace!

Allow me to help. Here are the pics of Mav Phantom

*EDIT* hehehe jeff beat me to the picture posting

Looks good Mav. Nice and clean.

Forgot the important stuff. The paints were all Testors. French Blue, Gloss White and Italian Red. Guess I covered it being a European with those colors LOL.

Wow! I had seen this kit in the stores and wondered what it looked like with those decals applied. Outstanding work.

My first impression of this is WOW!!! This looks great. You did a fantastic job with the decals and paint.

That's a fnatstic high-gloss finish. Almost looks like a car.
Aside from the fantastic job on the bright colors, I also really like the subtle job on the AB cans, looks impressive.

See? That's why I stick to armour! My limit on decals is a white star! Nice job!

PorkChop, I just fell out of my chair. Translator for Ward Burton, That is great. I'm a race fan , and everyone I know is always talking about him when he speaks to reporters. It's great, thanks for the laugh, Mav

I'm flabergasted!!! I guess you will be my first six cheers. It looks fantastic. And I.m not a wingy thing guy.

Looks great Doug.... :-) Hope I get my little 1/72 scale "Wild Horse" will come out that good...

ITALIAN RED?? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!??? IT OBVIOUSLY HAS TO BE BLOOD RED!! great plane! If I may say one thing, the front gear seems to be a little bent,but it doesn't detract from such a beautiful plane,good one,you have a winner!

Air, I saw that also after the photos were taken. It has been corrected. Penny, I know yours will smoke it. You got that touch Lady. Mav.

Believe a phantom phreak: that's great !!!!

That is one sweet paint job there ! and those decals kick ( you know what ) ! As you allready know i'm more of a armor guy , but I really like this jet . are you going to put it on a base ? Again great work I salute you

Turtle, she's not going on a base. It was more of a time killing project just to see how it came out. I have another Academy 1/32 Hornet to start.on next. Well, that was until I heard about the Helo Build. But my winter months are going to be for the Hornet, and maybe an Abrams. Thanks everyone for the kind words, and comments.

WOW, I thought the first pis was a reference pic. Looks amazing. Steve
