  Academy 1/48 F-4B VF-114 Aardvarks, Tonkin Gulf, 1968

  Bill Schurr

  This is my rendition of Academy's fine 1/48th scale F-4B as it would have appeared configured for MIG CAP while deployed aboard USS Kitty Hawk in the Tonkin Gulf during 1968. For added detail and accuracy, I slaved in Aires excellent and very accurate cockpit and afterburner sets intended for the Hasegawa F-4B. The Martin Baker MK5 seats are scratched up from various bits. I painted uppers in Xtracolor Gull Gray enamel over Tamiya Gloss White acrylic. Bare metal areas are Alclad II with a coat of Future. Decals are from Furballs F-4J sheet and the spares box. This kit has loads of features and detail. Its modular design with a one piece fuselage, heat shield/aft keel, seperate verticle fin and seperate flight controls facilitate easy painting and assembly. Number two in USMC markings is on the bench and I'm clearing space for the forthcoming "D".
