1/48 Tamiya Douglas F-4D-1 Skyray

This is my "What if?" Skyray in Jolly Roger's markings.  I like this aircraft very much, but none of the decal options convinced me much, so I decided to mark it in VF-84 livery.  The decals are from a Superscale reference for the F-4 Phantom.

The Kit is made OOB, and painted with Tamiya and Gunze acrylics.  The panel lines are painted with oils thinned in Humbrol Enamel Thinner.

As far as I know, the Jolly Rogers never flew the Skyray, but after completing my model, I found a couple of pics of this aircraft in VF-84 markings, as "Gate Guardian".
