Airfix 1/72 F-4B VF-21 Freelancers, Mig Killer USS Midway

[Dermo]

Hey everyone,
Just finished this, my first ever Phantom and Airfix's golden oldie - this was from the mid 1980's boxing. I had a lot of fun with it and while she's not the most accurate F-4 out there by a long way (and maybe a little over-weathered), I think it looks ok!

In summary..
Paint: Halfords white from a can, Revell Acrylics brush-painted. Klear, Flory Models wash, W&N Matt varnish.
Decals: Kits' own together with aftermarket (by Afterburner Decals) for VF-21 Freelancers, USS Midway 1965 - Callsign Sundown 102
Extras: Some rescribed panel lines, drilled out cockpit small windows, dropped ailerons, assorted Eduard F-4 photoetch for the cockpit which was scratchbuilt from card and stock (kit seats)













Thanks for looking!
All the best,
Dermot

Wow! You've really transformed this old kit. Really nice work.

Nice job on this old girl, its only the odd thing like thicker than usual edges (boundary layer plates, exhaust cans) that give it away, otherwise its a superb F-4B.
