Sometimes you start one model and end up with something else. Started a YF-4E as I had some really old Superscale decals that I had wanted to use. That's when the stash was checked showing a couple F-4Es but LOTS of C/Ds. So the model became a C. Next was finding the right reference photos, Well I liked the looks of the D better. So a D it became.

The Hasegawa kit has the addition of a Black Box cockpit which fit just fine. The decals are a combination of the REALLY old Superscale YF-4E, a pretty dang old partial sheet from what I think was Meteor productions, then kit decals for the standard stuff.

Added a couple photos of the old 1/72 kit that is being given away, and of course the wall of Phantoms. The smaller group shot is all my test squadron Phantoms.
