I did some googling and one of the biggest differences I could find was the Air Force was using Navy style pylons.

Mark, I’m not sure which pylons the the Tamiya C/D kit comes with, but if you need a set from a J let me know. I just finished the Blue Angels bird and didn’t use them.

The inboard Navy-style pylons from ResKit are beautiful.

Yes i have seen them but from what i have found for my F-4C it will be the air force style.

Going to order them from reskit.

There’s no such thing as “early” and “late” F-4Cs.  Like all aircraft, the F-4C underwent progressive upgrades through its production run. And changes were retrofitted to in-service aircraft.

 

What you need to know is, what’s the tail number, and what’s the time period you’re wanting to model it?  And you need photographs of the airplane at or near that time to verify things.  I’ve done a LOT of research on F-4Cs, so if you have specific questions, fire away and I’ll try to get you a solid answer.
