Thunderbird 2 requesting permission to land !
This is my completed SIG build, the F-4E Phantom II, as flown by the USAF's aerobatic display team, The Thunderbirds, circa 1972.
The kit is the 1/72 Fumiji item. The fit was pretty dodgy in places, but the surface detail and undercarriage is very nice, as are the decals, despite their age. Apart from some work to the cockpit / seats, the build is pretty much OOB.
It was a really enjoyable build and good to be part of the SIG. My thanks to Ian for the great subject suggestion and for kicking it all off.
Hope you enjoy the pic's
