1/48 Monogram F-4C/D Phantom II

by Christopher Tyson

--------------------

 

The model was built out-of-the-box, except for adding the centerline bomb rack. This rack and the bombs were taken from a Monogram A-4E/F kit.

The decals were from SuperScale. The unit markings are for the 336th TFS / 4 TFW based at Seymour Johnson AFB in North Carolina, however the tail fin tip was inspired by the fin tips of the 52nd TFW. To my knowledge, the 4th TFW never sported a Red / White / Blue fin flash. In addition to the unit markings and large data markings are about 200 tiny decals providing the stenciling for the whole airframe. These data markings come from SuperScale decal sheet 48-067.

The diarama in the third picture uses the old ESCI aircraft maintenance equipment and figures. Additional figures come from the Monogram P-61 Black Widow.
