Hey!!!  Look at that, phantom built ANOTHER Phantom.  Well 2 actually.  2  1/48 Hasegawa RF-4Bs both for group builds.  One here on ARC and one for another web site.

Both are completely OOB apart from the decals.  The one built for ARC (all grey#14) uses a VERY old Superscale sheet.  For years I thought that Superscale messed up until I found a photo of #14 in this scheme in a "Airdoc" book.  Apart from the BuNum and nose numbers being too big they were bang on.

The other plane (#23) uses very hard to find "Impact decals" for the Playboys.  Snazzy scheme.  Of course as Steve seems to like them I have included a couple shots of my wall of Phantoms.
