Description: Zoukei Mura F-4D Phantom in 1/48. This was built in the markings of the 497 TFS “Nite Owls”
This build really pushed me to the limit especially once I reached the decal stage. I had some major silvering issues which required quite a bit of work to resolve.
With this build, I attempted to replicate the weathering I saw when reviewing numerous reference images as close as possible.
Along with the kit, I also used the following aftermarket items:
•Reskit – Missiles, FOD covers, and exhaust nozzle
•Quinta Studio – Interior 3D decal set
•3D-Chute-Expert – Landing gear set
•Mini Craft Collections – Ejection seats
•Eduard – Remove before flight flags
