Simply gorgeous build and amazingly displayed.  Love the patch and the clear stands.  Looks like those guys are pressed back in their seats.

That's a great job on a great kit. I'm about to start this one, and yours is definitely inspiring!

Aside from the AIM-9J's, everything else looks just right. Very nice work!

The J Sidewinder did not arrive in Vietnam until late in the Linebacker Campaign. Long after Col. Olds had left the theater.

That sir, is a stunner.  While viewing the pics, I just kept saying "wow" over and over. Camo is exceptional.

Beautiful work.  You certainly were not kidding about the number of stencils.  HOLY COW, that thing is covered!  Love the in flight display option also.  Great job!

Camo is painted with Gunze acrylics except for the brown, which is lacquer as acrylic was out of stock when I bought colours. Also used Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics, Vallejo Metal Color and Gunze metalizer, AK Xtreme metal Burnt metal and jet exhaust,(although you don't see the exhaust area due to acrylic rod), Flory dark dirt wash and Mig Satin Varnish. 

My second Academy Phantom, a great kit bar a couple of minor things, (Center seam on canopies & panel lines don't line up on one of the drop tanks). Doing the stencil data decals is time consuming, but that is part of the build.
