This is the Tamiya kit of
F-4C Phantom II, modified with the following resin items:
-
Black Box conversion for
RF-4E (the same for RF-4C).
-
Black Box cockpit for
RF-4E (the same for RF-4C).
- Cutting Edge refueling
probe.
- Cutting edge nozzles for
any RF-4C/D/E/F kit.
And various modifications
were built from scratch (nose, cockpit, pylons, hook, tail, wedges of the wheels...).
I painted this aircraft
with Model Master "Light Ghost Gray" and Humbrol
"light Gray", and Citadel acrylics for gold and satin black
for the commemorative scheme and metal parts of the rear fuselage.
All weather are with acrylic paints from Citadel, pastel and my pencil.
I
used the new decals from Series Españolas (Spain).

The RF-4C served with 123 squadron, Ala 12 from Ejército del Aire (Torrejón,
Madrid-Spain) from 1978 to 2002. November 18 2002 was the farewell
of the last Spanish Phantom and for the occasion the aircraft 12-64 was
painted with this special scheme, and no more Phantoms were to grace the
Spanish skies.
Thanks to my family and friends
for their patience.

Zaragoza, Spain.
