This was a difficult and
interesting project. I decided to make the most known Steve Ritchie and
Chuck Debellevue F-4D of the Vietnam war. For these markings I used self-made
decals, printed on old Alps. Later Printscale produced decals with this plane and
I helping with materials for this decal. When I worked with this kit, I used Eduard
photoetched parts for the F-4E. SUU-23 gun pod and ALQ-87 container from a
Hasegawa
set. I scratchbuilt the ALQ-101 container.

The kit is painted with Xtracolor Enamels. Markings with 5 victories on August-September,
1972 when flown by Steve and Chuck.
Later this plane had 6 stars after
a new victory.
