My son's third birthday is coming up this weekend and I wanted to make something special for him. I decided to do an F-4 that I had in my small stash and paint it up in a Micky Mouse Clubhouse scheme. However, he seems to be more and more interested in the Justice League (Superman, Batman Wonder Woman, Flash, etc etc all those DC Comics heros) so I changed my plan and made it a JL plane. 

Did a pearl white base with red, yellow, blue, and black colors. Printed out a bunch of decals (Yep that huge photo of the Justice League really is one huge decal! Cut into three parts for easier application - I laid Superman down first then either side aligned to him in the center.) and laid them all out and sealed everything under a ton of Aqua Gloss and Future. 

Took about 2 weeks or so - most of that masking and painting. I trimmed off all the sharp little bits that would just poke my son or break off, and closed up the gear doors. The end result is a pretty good looking and durable plane that he can play with. Pretty happy with it
