Just as magnificent as I expected! It feels great seeing it from all angles too. What a beautiful model!

Outstanding finish there! A very nicely weathered well used Korean War Bent Wing Bird. I really love the photo with the spinning prop.
I saw the Death Rattlers, in VMFA-323 guise, for many years flying F-4's and F/A-18's out of El Toro.

Thank you so much , Sirs.
I am a bit surprised about your feedbacks. In a German board some guys monitored issues not matching....

Because of that I modified some panels to get more contrast on the blue surfaces.

My main gig is the aircraft type in the title... it's a -4. I don't believe there was a -4D, and the 4B had the 4 20mm cannon instead of 6 .50 cal. machine guns...

But if you look at these photos of Death Rattler Corsairs in Korea, I think you nailed the look... despite what a few of your countryman may have said....

Thank you Stikpusher. You made my day!
And I changed the title to your suggestion...

Made my day, too, Stikpusher and Bolleken. Particularly that last photo Stikpusher posted. Damn.

Do you think adding some pastels was an improvement?
