Comments

This kit has a long story. It was on my workbench virtually for 30 years:

First built in 1981 as a Thunderbirds F-4E (my first spray painted model)

Re-painted in 1987 as SEA F-4E

Paint peeled off in 1991, with some damages.

During the '90es I collected resin items to do an early F-4B, comprising the Black Box cockpit.

Started rebuilding in 2008, finished in december 2013.

I deleted the wing bulges, re-built the RWR on tail fin, put a new resin short nose, and many other features.

A very long project....
