I have this kit on the way and am hoping to purchase a set of Cam Pro 1/72 Blue Angels decals. The last time I saw an F-4 Phantom was just after the Gulf War around 1991 at an airshow. It was impressive.

Slow start. The parts are washed and I started the interior cockpit color dark gull gray. I used this boxing," Flight Of The Intruder "to build Showtime 100 a few years back, an EXCELLENT kit for it’s age.

I have some cockpit painting and assembly. Just need to paint and add the ejection pull handles to the seat tops and it’s done.

I just went through my spares box and found the short burner cans. Monogram also used parts to make an F-4C/D version with this kit. They used a different fuselage with the chin pod under the nose and I think different stabs and burner cans. The Navy F-4J, my kit in progress now, has the parts to make the cockpit " Navalized". The early J models used the same engine as the F-4B. I know later on there were a few Blue Angels F-4Js with the upgraded engine but early on most were B model engines. My decals coming soon are for the 1969 season which either most or all had short burner cans.

A bit more work, almost ready to start painting. Flaps and speed brakes on, bottom seams sanded and wheel wells painted white. I have the short burner cans assembled and placed in but not glued in. I need to paint them.They are one of the last items to add after paint.
