F-4 Phantom FGR Mk.2 No.17 Sqn RAF

Now that she has finally been stripped of the previous paint scheme, I'll fix up a couple of seam join issues before she goes of to the paint shop.

Spanjaard
beautiful scheme... looking forward seeing it finished.

Michael Hickey
Thanks Mate, hoping to get her into the paint shop today or at the very latest tomorrow.

Michael Hickey
Finally, after some delays and set backs I've got the blue on her. All I need to do now is give her a couple of days to dry then I can paint the metal areas and wheel wells. Then a gloss coat and ready for decals that will put some life in her.

Michael Hickey
Well I think I've left her long enough for the the blue paint to dry so I guess it's time to start masking up the metal areas and spray them with different shades of Alclad II.

Spanjaard
yeah, paint should be quite cured by now😉

Michael Hickey
hahahaha...👍

Having put this Rhino down for a while now, I've decided to change the paint scheme yet again, should be able to shoot some paint on her this arvo.

Michael Hickey
I should have been born a female, I just can't decide what colour scheme to do this one, but I think I've got it now.😢 Defiantly going to be 17 Sqn at RAF Bruggen, West Germany, 1972.

Cool looking Phantom I'm watching too

Michael Hickey
Your more than welcome, I just have to change a couple of details on the tail before I start painting her.
