VX-4 Bicentennial F-4

[Darren Roberts]

This will be featured in the July FSM. I made all the necessary changes to the airframe. Some people erroneously think it's an F-4B. It's actually an F-4J with a B nose and test leading edge slats that would later be put on the S. It's quite an interesting airframe. The decals were from CAM and were horrible. They were brittle and broke up and flaked off when I tried to get them to go over compound curves. I painted the red and white stripes and should have painted the blue instead of using the decals. I can't go into detail about all the mods, because Finescale wouldn't be too happy with me. :-)

I've got those same decals and am now thinking twice about doing this scheme.  Though I may just wait for the July FSM and then contact you about the build.  Still waiting for the promised Speed Hunter Graphics 1/48 F-106A FL ANG "City of Jacksonville" Delta Dart decals.
