Got a new book in the mail yesterday. 

It'll hopefully be handy when I get around to the ZM kit. 

[DocRob]

Today, among some long awaited vinyls, the postwoman brought me that beauty, a Japanese version of the F-4E in it's final livery from the Japanese Airforce in 2020. 
Why, some of you might ask, will you buy a ZM F-4 with the Tamiya one on the shelves soon. I got three reasons:
- First and most important, I couldn't resist the disco inferno paintjob with glitter decals, luckily printed by Cartograph
- I wanted a long nose Phantom, because I have a F-4B boxing from Eduard with all AM and who knows, if and when Tamiya decides to produce one.
- Lastly, because the kit got a lot of praise, not the least here from Phil here.

All that turned out enough to counter the arising stencil drama, where at least, I wouldn't discover if they are wrongly orientated, being Japanese .

Cheers Rob

Nice catch Rob as it looks very cool. 

Good thinking on the stencils as well.  Must admit the number of stencils on Phantoms has always made me a bit wary of building one. However, if HKM ever produce their 1/32 Spey one......

I picked one last month. It is indeed a very nice kit. They've got a more standard scheme Kai coming next.

The amount of stencils on a Japanese F-4 is a bit mind boggling. Here's the kit one.

Have I been an influencer……….heaven forbid……..Rob you will love the ZM, yes the stencils did take a long time but quite therapeutic……..at sometime I might just do another F4 from ZM…….the tolerances are similar to WnW a paint coat will through it off…….

I've seen yours and it raised my interest. I'm aware of the more plain future boxing, but it was the disco glitter livery, which sealed the deal.

It seems like you have to adopt to a new role , LSM Head of Advanced Influence or HAI in short, reads nice on a business card. Actually I like being influenced and got my  purse drained, at least model wise . The F-4 could easily be my next build, lets see.

Does the middle figure  look more like Jim Belushi or Humphrey Bogart?   I was thinking of getting this figure set and a M3 Lee.  To put with a Border ME109 Shot down.  I know the ME 109 would be a later model, I know.  But I thought it would make a good diorama.

I'd say Belushi myself.

I like to see someone  do a 1/32 scale John Belushi in the 1941 movie motif.
For a P-40
