Built for the Australian group build is this Hasegawa F-4E. Only problem model wise is I am fresh out of old school wing F-4Es. So I took a RF-4EJ (gun nose) kit, kept the cameras and Japanese decals for future use and started sanding. Normally I took F-4J wings to do this but it would seem I have done that too many times. Looks like I have some F-4S airframes to build in my future. Removed the Kai mods from the tail and wing tips and called it a day..

Other mods are what I think was a True details cockpit and decals from Aussie decals. In the background of one photo you see a 1/72 Phantom missing its tail surfaces. I think its around 20 plus years old and now in the trash pit. Might have built 172 Phantoms but only 100 or so remain.

Enjoy the photos.
