Nothing crazy here, this is my second submission to ARC. There's alot of backstory behind this model!! It started out in CAM VF-111 markings, but I wasn't satisfied. I ended up sanding off the decals and re-touching the paint. I had acquired the Super Scale VF-151 decals, so I decided to use them, and I messed up on the Portside of the Vertical Stab decal. I ended up trying to touch it up with paint, but it still doesn't work for me. That's why there isn't a clear picture of the left side of the vert. I used Model Master paint and a #2 pencil for the extremely light weathering.

I have actually put alot of work into this model, the problem with that is that it has kind of become my experiment model. When I saw the guys a couple of weeks ago posting their older F-4's, I figured why not?

The F-4 is my favorite aircraft of all time, so I have quite a few, but none of them are really up to this websites standards, but I will definitely keep trying. At least it looks better than my F4U-1D from a few months ago!

This model really isn't complete, and probably never will be, but I guess I owed it to her to post her:)

I definitely look forward to you guys critiquing this build. I need to get off my tail and get some more building done! (I probably need a college level course on photography too). Critique please! Be Harsh! I need the motivation!
