Good Day!!! I am Alexis Baligod II from Tagum City, Davao del Norte, Philippines. This is my first submission here on ARC. I have been building scale models since I was still in 1st grade (1978) and is a regular contributor to IPMS BA forums. My model is Testor's 1/72 F-4G Wild Weasel. I have always wanted to model an ODS Weasel but was not able to find available decals (Airdoc) so I have to make do with the kit's decals which is a Clark AB bird. Gunze Mr Color were used for the Hill Grey camo and Tamiya enamels for detail and metallic painting. About the kit: my kit came without a nose cone so I had to fashion one from a 1/48th fuel tank. The fit was okay with a little filler on some joints.

For the weapons fit, although the AGM-78 was never used in ODS, I decided to use it anyway since I have always like its shape and appearance. The left and right fuel tanks came from a Hasegawa F-4E and the centerline tank from an Academy F-15E.

I have always loved the F-4 Phantom in all its variants especially this one, the "G" .
