Four Distinct Shades of Awesome on this, man. She's looking absolutely wicked.

You know, if you really weather that camo and stick red stars and a bort number on her.....

From some angles, especially around the radome and cockpit, your project has an undeniably Soviet look to it. Until you put the cannon fairing under the nose, the whole radome and cockpit area had a MiG-23/Su-15 hybrid look to it.

I'm really looking forward to how you finish it off.

I wanted to make an original camouflage, different from the usual schemes used by the USAF.
Without noticing this, I ended up having a Russian aircraft.
At this point I could make it an aggressor, but I also think at a nation that may have the resources to do a hybrid F-4 with F-104 and that on its planes used a camouflage similar to mine. (Japan).

Not, not! The colors used on the upper surfaces are only 3: in fact, seem to 4 but is not true.

Funny how the combination of F-4 and F-104 elements ends up looking incredibly British in design!!!

I agree, there's a definite "Buccaneer II" feel to it.

Now that's entirely sexy!

Sauragnmon · October 28, 2009, 09:19:51 AM

I'm with Moritz - that is pretty damn sexy.

JJC · October 29, 2009, 08:17:50 AM

hi i don't suppose you have the nose for that F-4E do you?

oh, and thats fantastic work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MiB · October 29, 2009, 08:27:42 AM

Fantasy Power!! Great model, really!

G.Marcat · October 29, 2009, 10:26:12 AM

Honestly it's really great so see the my work so appreciated!

For "JJC": if you are interested to the original F-4E's nose I'm sorry but I have plans to use it in a my next project.

Update;

Few moments ago I ruined the decal with the tail number:

Luckily I have here another F-4EJ with the same decals, will steal the ruined number from it.
