1/48 Academy F-4C Phantom #179

This is an Academy F-4C completely out of the box with the exception of the Aero Master decals representing the first Phantom to score an air to air victory back in 1965. I chose to model the Phantom in its more common mode of bomb truck. Something about 18 big bombs hanging off a model that looks right to me. Also as you can see it was painted in the early delivery scheme of navy style gull grey and white. Before 3 tone cam came into vogue.

The Academy kit builds real nice compared to every kit out there and gives you lots of bonus parts and weapons to use on other kits.

Enjoy the photos.
