  Hello everyone. This is my second submission to ARC. I absolutely love this web site. Steve does such an awesome job! Anyway, there isn't much to say about the build. It is an older F-4 kit. I built this model out of the box. Nothing extra. I didn't even use reference photos! I had a blast building it though. All I can say is I love the Hasegawa F-4's. Everyone is familiar with their good and bad issues so no need to cover that.

  I was in Osaka Japan when I built this kit. I was inspired by the wonderful people in Osaka. I never build foreign air force colors but what can I say this was a special occasion. I built a Japanese Air Force fighter in Japan by a Japanese manufacturer. It seemed right to me. Anyway, I gave the model away to a friend in Japan because I knew it would not make the trip back to the states in one piece. I used Mr. Color paints which were referenced on the instructions as maybe Humbrol? The numbers matched perfectly. I did not weather the model because I could not get a good enough sludge mix going. I did not have all my available tools that I have at home so I made do with what I had. The decals were in the kit. Man there were a lot of them to. They went down really good. I also used a Mr. Color decal solution, it's as good as anything I have used here. I hope you like it and please email any comments or critiques.
