Hi all,
I just finished the Monogram 1/72 F-4J Phantom kit. It's a fine kit, and it went together pretty well.It needed some filler putty, and it suffered from some nasty ejector pin marks, but overall I had a blast building it.
Here's a montage of photos of the completed kit:

Here are three photos of it being built:

Lastly, here's a review of the same kit from Modeling Madness:

I used aftermarket, Fox One decals on the plane.
So, I won't be participating in this build, but I can highly recommend this Monogram kit if any of you can find it.
In fact, most of the kits I've built over the years have been Monogram, now that I think about it. I've always enjoyed their kits. They may take a bit more work than many newer kits, but they're still darned good values and they build into nice kits with some care.
Regards, and good luck!
