This is my 166th Phantom on ARC. Built for the Phantom Group build of course. This is a Hasegawa F-4E modified into a F-4EJ (for the most part). When I opened the box of my F-4EJ kit I found the standard F-4E kit instead. So......I swapped out the E wings with a J kits wings from the stash. Cut off the fin from the E and glued on a "Kai" style fin from a RF-4 kit in the stash. Added a cockpit set from an unknown company and of course the colourful decals which are from Model Alliance. Like these decals. They give lots of really different options on their sheets.

Instead of all Phantoms you get two Phantoms, one Japanese and one Turkish. Two colourful Hornets, one from Canada and one Australian. Then you get Marine One , a very colourful Sea King. Just wish the instructions gave more references here to know what I need to make the US presidents helicopter look the part.

The Japanese decals chosen are for a 302 squadron special. The colour of the weird green is direct and unmixed from Tamiya. Odd to me that this colour is even available. I have no idea when I will ever use it again.
