The F-4 total I have is 1/72nd scale 543, 1/48th scale 11, 1/32nd scale 6, 1/144th scale 1, and 2 of Hasegawas egg planes, which were very cute.
It was a wonderful weekend with a lot of good comments (and 1 or 2 why did you bother type comments), most people being impressed with the size and quality of the display.
There were more than 35 contributors, for which I owe great thanks (all contributors received a special commemorative key ring, so they can boast about their achievement in the future, which was kindly donated by Squadron Prints. 
We even had 4 Phantoms travel all the way from Pittsburgh. Thanks Bill, I trust the mid air refuelling (from the drinks cart) was successful.
In late December I will be redoing my web site (www.500phantoms.com) to show a picture of all the models.
The IPMS(UK) committee are to be thanked for allowing us the chance to do this.

Many thanks to all who participated, sponsored, and enjoyed the display.
