Started with the decals after having applied a Tamiya X-22 gloss coat. I use the decals from an old Revell F-4C/D kit (see project inventory).

The air intakes required some CA glue and sanding to make them looking right.

Tailfin fit. The gap between joint and fuselage required some putty. I used Surfacer for filling.

I did some weathering of the Phantom with oils. Those Phantoms were dirty planes..

I have the same kit and am planning a Hawaii Air National Guard. How was the fit? Anything I aneed to watch for?

Hi Walaroo, you have the Academy kit? I really like this kit. I had no major issues during construction. A little bit of putty/CA was required to make the intakes "fit in". To me the fit is as good as of the 1/48 Hasegawa kits. I added some of the "in progress pics" to the gallery so that you can see the areas which needed more attention.
