This is my 176th Phantom. This time another Academy 1/48 F-4B. The plan was to do this one up in VF-161 colours. But Vegabond announced they had new decals coming out for VF-84. Well...161 can wait. The model got some adjustments from the original plan like yellow tips and fly guys in orange monkey suits.

Then it
was a matter of waiting for the decals. Well that took a couple months from the
announcement to arrive at the door. The day after they arrived they were on the
model.
I have a belief more Phantom decals are coming (some day) from Vegabond. When they do they will find a home on a future Phantom. So they group shots include Hasegawa models with Furball decals. The old one (F-4B #211) is going to be re-done in
VF-213 markings. It was my first 1/48 Navy Phantom. Its not good enough for the shelf anymore, but with a fix up and new coat of paint maybe I can save it.
