Here is my Tamiya 1/32 scale F-4C Phantom II.
On the 30th March 1967 Col. Robin Olds lead a low level strike against the Thai Nyguen steel mill in North Vietnam.

I could not confirm that he flew 829 on this mission but it was before his jet was named SCAT XXVII and before the 2 kill marks and the Satan's head emblem was added.
For the mission the loadout for 829 consisted of 6 x MK84 high drag bombs, 4x AIM 7's, 1x 600gal centre line tank and 1x 350gal tank on the left outer pylon and 1x ECM pod on the right outer pylon. These early F4C's had the SEA camo painted directly over the gull gray but the underside was left in white.
I added the following:
-
2x 3D printed MB MK5 seats
-
2x 3D printed TER
-
6x 3D printed MK 82 high drag Snakeyes
-
1x 3D printed right outer wing pylon
-
1x 3D printed 600gal tank
-
Quinta Studios F4C printed cockpit details
-
Eduard Brassin afterburner/exhausts
-
Resin wheels
The model was painted with AK Real Colors. I also made various correction to the kit.
