The radio control boxes on the side panel - the three identical dials - are for SCR-274-N. That F-4C likely would have used SCR-522.

Love the detail in the wheel wells!

Really nice Brian. Love my circle cutter. Use it for sprayed out roundels, round windows and the circular areas of windscreens. Haven't used it for wheels yet

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good so far!

Tonight i finally started spraying clear gloss . Once dry ill see if its needs another coat on the bottom before spraying topside. I have one tiny area to souch up with the PRU blue .
