THANK! I totally missed that in my haste to finish this! All fixed.

On with the tulip pattern. The hard part is the first decal, it's white on white. The second black decal is a bit easier to see.

My goof, I found the diagram, it's a small little drawing , shows what decal number goes where. This looks interesting.

I added the slim white crosses to the wing top and the fuselage crosses. Gotta figure out the "tulips", instructions say see diagram, I have no diagram with my instructions so I guess I should contact the decal makers.

I started the decals, the instructions say use a white cross on the wing tops then paint the inside of the cross green. I found an extra green and white cross and cut the center green away from the white. The white was real "thick" and it should be slim so I will now put the slim white cross over the green center cross. I have no interest in painting over a decal, why not just make that decal?

Nice! I love the detail in your cockpit. I lived a few miles from the Warthogs base in the 80s and 90s near Westfield MA. Loved watching them buzz over the mountains.

Ready to decal.

Canopy framing sprayed, need to add prop, paint exhausts and glosscote for decaling.

Thanks , more work on the "winter camo".

What an interesting subject!

The white is done. Now to add very light gray lines to show "summer camo pattern" showing through.

I'd go with the Fujimi F-4E as a "curb" model. I just purchased one in the Mig Killer boxing and it's close enough for me, I am 71 and my eyesight is excellent but have a touch of "hamfistedness" and an occasional palsey shake every now and then, commonly known as "old age". This is why I prefer older style kits that are not overly engineered or "busy" like Eduard or Fine Molds. Nice kits but I ain't getting any younger and the only viewer of them in my display case is me.

Thanks. Masking for white camouflage color.

Thanks Paul, hard wing with no slats, and long muzzle from images I have. Just need to cut wings off Sparrows.

Almost forgot, long or short gun barrel?
