1/48 Hasegawa F-4D Phantom Air National Guard

Thank you Owl. Medic- there has to be a gazillion superscale/aero master sheets on eBay, or are u waiting specifically for Furball to release some?

Ahh nevermind. I was looking to do a F-4 from VMFA-323 Death Rattlers and I knew that Furball had some but it's a F-4B, not a J.

[Medicman71]

Well now you need the B kit

I think I'm good with the J.

You can always do what I'm doing and piece together some markings from 10 different sheets...

[Medicman71]

Yeah I'd rather not go that route. The kit obviously comes with decals but they're for the Jolly Rogers and I don't want to do that one. It's over done if you ask me.

I love the f-4 and really like following your build.

Does anyone have an idea of the meaning of the blue/white/red bars on the fin ? I noticed the same feature on f-100s

[LyleW]

in my simple world....just ask my grand kids! These are known in slang as "slime lights". I believe they are a glow-in-the-dark material and used for night formation flying to aid in positioning.

Some one fill in the blanks.

Lyle,

I was not talking about this
I saw the same 3 colours band also on the f-100 but just below the cockpit, could it be related to ANG birds ?

The ribbon indicates that the unit in question was awarded with the "US Air Force Outstanding Unit Award".

See, I knew I was wrong. Back to your regular programming.
