Unfortunatly I miss understood the instructions when putting on the eagle & feathers and they ended up to high on the fuselage.

New decals from Furball have been ordered and will replace the eagle & feathers already on the aircraft.

Micro Sol likes to leave stains on if left to long.

nice job. i thought about getting those pilots for one of my F-4J, but did not at the end... maybe I should have done it.

Thank You fella's, the pilots I actually molded and cast them myself because I plan on putting them in a couple more Phantom's that I've got. Lode the helmet stripes are very fine decals from the spares box and when you look at the helmets in real life I also painted the eagle emblem on each rear side just by doing little squiggles. But I'm glad you like them it puts a smile on my dial, she's all glossed up now so decals will start tomorrow and will probably take a couple of days.

I'm really pissed off with myself for getting the eagle in the wrong position, oh well, now she waits a couple of weeks while new decals arrive.🙁 Now where did I put the Greek Phantom II.🤔

decals seem pretty good, confirming to all the rivets and panel lines... nice

Thanks Spanjaard & Konrad, with a bit of Micro Set & Micro Solution they were a pleasure to put on.

The last 3 images show the F-4 now that the offending decals have been removed. I'll wait till the decal sheet turns up from Furball Aero-Design before going any further with her, to depressing thinking I could have had her all finished this time next week. The HAF Phantom is just about ready for decals so I will now turn my attention back to her.

Thanks Guys, Holly the pit fit pretty good, as always with resin there is the job of removing excess resin to get a perfect fit.
