    Nice start on this old lady. The detail might not be up to scratch by today standards but with a little bit of TLC she can surely be build into an attractive model. Good luck & lot's of fun with this one. Kind regards, Rudy. P.S.: Those sure are some sweet sexy reskit leg's...

    Looking very sweet Marcel. The weathering is absolutely Phabulous. Too bad the exhaust-can's possed somewhat of a challenge. (?) They just look a little bit odd... Oh well, I better go & wash my big mouth since I'm nowhere as skilled as You are so who am I to criticize... Kind regards, Rudy.

    WOW, now that's looking very sweet Marcel ! Although already mentioned: You definately nailed the touch-up patches. That must have taken quite a few hours to accomplish... Yet, Your work payed off: VERY CONVINCING. Looking forward to the RFI-pic's. Kind regards, Rudy.

    Looking very sweet Leon and You're going at warpspeed with this one... I don't care too much for prop's but this one has been on my wishing-list as it just look's cool. Instead I settled for a Revell Spitfire (1/32), an Eduard Bf.109 (1/32) and a Trumpeter P-47 (1/32) a few years ago. Might pull one of them out of my stash some day but as You know there is "something else" in the pipeline... Looking forward to see how You're gonna tackle the BFM. Kind regards, Rudy.

    Been out of town for a few weeks (as You know) and have only been able to enjoy the RFI-pic's just today in the comfort of "the 1st world"... You've done the The Lady justice Leon. She's a stunner !!! Kind regards, Rudy.

    "And so the nightmare has begun..." A little bit sad to read there will not be anymore updates, but then again: watching the application of a few hundred stencil-decals is probably just as exciting as watching paint dry... Good luck with the stencil application and I hope all will work out fine during the last stint of this build. Truly looking forward to see the end-result in the RFI-section. And on a final note (for now): Thank You leon for sharing this build. It was a pleasure to see Your progress and to watch You tackle various challenges along the way. I also want to thank You for re-lighting the "Spook-fire" and I can hardly wait to get started. Unfortunately that's still will be a few weeks into the future but I promise I will open a build-report when time comes and hope You will enjoy it just as much. Kind regards, Rudy.

    Once again a sweet update Leon. Those winders look sweet and maybe I have to consider them as well... As for the landing-gear: How about drilling a pilot-hole in the strut, corresponding with a "tight-fit" hole in the landing-gear area of the wing. Insert a piece of paper-clip wire into the "pilot-hole" of the gear-strut, apply the epoxy and "install" it into the hole in the landing-gear area of the wing. If You can make the hole in the landing-gear area of the wing a real tight-fit, it should give You a lot of srength & stability... Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Rudy.

    Goodie - Goodie !!! Boy, those stencils look sweet. The only "flaw" I can find is that it look's like they goofed-up the yellow but I surely can live with that. "True" brigth yellow might look too over-powering on a SEA-camo jet anyway, if You ask me. If these sheets come close to the "Microscale" offering (in 1/48 scale), You better get ready to apply some 500+ individual stencil-decals... Hey wait a minute... I just realize I ordered 4 set's for my intended Spook-family... Maybe I'd better drop my devious idea and build another simple Hawker Hunter instead. Have fun applying the stencils. Kind regards, Rudy.

    Hey ALF !!! "Long time - no see..." How nice to find You here on LSP. Haven't been able to stay in contact with You over at "that other site" because I stepped on some-ones toes over there... Hope to see some of Your work over here, accompanied by some of Your fantastic memoires. Still flying or are those day's gone...??? Kind regards, Rudy, alias "SPOOKY" P.S.: Sim-flying doesn't count !

    1) Sorry to take away Your "shine" with my previous post but it look's like we both "reacted" almost at the exact same time... 2) You actualy went ahead with the name-tag...?!?!?! You're killing me !!! 3) Excellent job on the repaint-job. Guess the lady just went through Your depot-maintenance so now You can aply the "broken" stencils with 100% accuracy confidence. Sweet job on the leg's as well. Besides the fact that You made me "committed", You're also forcing me to bring my "A-game" when time comes... Keep up the mighty good work my friend. Kind regards, Rudy.

    Just stumbled upon these site's for printing Your own decals: https://www.vinar.cz/index_en.html and https://www.spotmodel.com/printlab_howto.php Decided to just drop them in this thread to have them "pinned" somewhere. Who know's, they might become of any use to future-projects... Haven't got a clue regarding "quality" and "pricing" though. Kind regards, Rudy.

    Ha, sounds a little bit "typical" for Revell. They have some more subjects on the market that contain some extra goodies which are not mentioned in their instructions... @ Chris: Thanx for "confirming" my train of thought. I've been reading Your additional information regarding the stencils with great interest. Over at "overshoot", they mentioned that the F-4E "earliers" went to Spain twice to receive some updates. If Your assumption is correct, which I believe it is, they must also have been re-painted and therefore received the DEPOT-style stencils. That, in turn, would explain the "breaks" in the stencils, depicted in the close-up shot of the nose-section. Question: As for the F-4E "late" bird's; do You happen to know if they ever received DEPOT-service in Spain (during their life-span within the 32nd) at which they were re-painted and received DEPOT-style B&W stencils ? (TIA) Kind regards, Rudy. P.S.: Thank You for enclosing the link's to the Fundekal PDF's which I have downloaded for future ref's.

    Did some quick checking and it look's like the 32nd only had an "anti-slip" area on top of the left-hand intake. I think it must have been applied at Sqn maintenance-level, in order to facilitate the WSO boarding the bird. Judging by the pic's the area doesn't have the "typical" shape as applied in later years of service but it look's more like a simple rectangle area... http://www.overshoot.nl/32nd._V_files/F-4E CREW-filtered.jpg http://www.overshoot.nl/80401,_80405_files/68 401-filtered.jpg Just visible on the edge of the intake: (also note the stencils, clearly showing the "stencil-breaks") http://www.overshoot.nl/more_32nd._files/F-4E CLOSE UP-filtered.jpg Appearently absent on the right-hand intake: http://www.overshoot.nl/New_Wave_files/74 053(2)-filtered.jpg Now I'm aware of the fact that the pic's show different bird's but it might be a good idea to check Your "1054" ref's. Kind regards, Rudy.

    Once again looking very impressive Leon !!! I can hardly wait to see the ProCal stencils on the bird. Surely the application of the stencils will keep You busy for a few evenings but once applied it should look stunning !!! Kind regards, Rudy.
