Soeren R.Count me in😉
I love the Hellenic Air Force scheme of the F-4.
Can you tell me which decal sheet are you planning to use?

Michael HickeyI wish I had one, do you know where I could buy one from? Otherwise I'll paint the markings and search the spare decals for the numbers.
Don't get to comfy though guys if I can stay focused, I don't plan to drag this build out for very long. The Hasegawa F-4 goes together perfectly and if I can find my mold block I'll even cast a pair of seamless suckers and put seamless air intakes in.😢

Soeren R.Sadly not.
I only know about special marking kits, but no normal version decal sheet.

Michael HickeySame here, I have a few Greek decals I can scavenge so I should be right.

Soeren R.Yeah, but it would be nice to see a decalsheet just for Hellenic F-4's someday - fingers crossed. 🙂

Michael HickeyThere sure is Urban, I've just ordered myself some decal paper and found a good pic of the emblem of Ajax (the son of King Telamon of Salamis), so I will make a pair of decals of that and place them on each side of the tail.

Michael HickeySeems seats are going fast for this one, still plenty of room though. Better get a move on, all I've done so far is glue the nose section in half and getting ready to cut the flaps. Also need to check to see if she requires the underside fuselage stiffener that's forward of the wheel wells. If so which I believe she does I'll need to scratch build it from 0.5 thousands Evergreen sheet. Then the work on the pit will commence, so stay tuned for some pics of that.

Michael HickeyFlaps & ailerons cast, resin cockpit, wheel wells and exhaust cans all cleaned up ready for painting.😢

Michael HickeyYour more than welcome Konrad, first main wheel well removed and the replacement resin one is in its place.🙂

Bill SpargoIf this one turns out anything like your F-16 , it will be a beauty. looking forward to some modelling time together.

Michael HickeyThank You Sir, and yes next weekend can't come quick enough. I'll bring the M901 Launching Station & M983 Prime Mover (Tractor). I'll continue working on these after I finish the Rhino.

Michael HickeyMost of the work to the wing structure is done now, just some tiding up to do. Then I'll cut in the seamless air intakes and then start the cockpit.

Adonis VolosI have Greek decals sheet! I would trade them for Norwegian f-16 decals scale 1/48.

Michael HickeyThanks Cliffy and sorry Adonis I don't have any Norwegian decals

Patrick HagelsteinHey Michael, just reading your quote under picture 16. Isn't that strap a refurbished early F-4E and F-4S thing? I believed newer F-4E's, and also F-4F, F-4G and F-4EJ were built with thicker wing skins and that those early F-4E's were retrofitted with straps. Just like the F-4S, which is a refurbished F-4J from before the thicker skin. Just checking, otherwise I might need to alter some in progress builds.... 🙁

Michael HickeyHey Patrick, to be honest I can't remember, it was a while ago since I built this one.

Patrick HagelsteinHi Michael, thanks for the reply. I guess it's like everything in our hobby: let's check pictures before glueing or painting. 😉
