This is NOT a Phantom. Its a F-4D Skyray. Neat little naval fighter from before the time of the Phantom. The kit really is great. Just my motivation that was lacking on this build. Sometimes that happens.

The decals used are from the excellent Furball decals sheet. I plan on doing my other Skyray in the stash with other markings on the decal sheet. I HAD to build the VF-102 version first to replace one of my really old 1/72 scale models remaining on the shelf. That kit was so awful being hit by numerous cat attacks over the years its not even going to be stripped for spares.

After the plane was finished I realized I had most of the CVW-8 airwing from the Forrestal WAY back in the day.  Also included a shot of my CVW-8 wall.
