Another Academy Phantom, F-4B this time and for something different my 197th Phantom is a Marine. From VMFA-314, the first Marine squadron to convert to Phantoms.  This one is (almost) built completely from the box, including the kit decals. However it does get Furball cockpit decals which really simply the build of the Academy kit.

You might notice a completely FULL bomb load. To do this you need the bombs from TWO Academy kits. Lucky for me I built Phantom 196 at he same time. It got zero bombs so this one got to borrow them.

Enjoy the photos.
