RAF F4JUK.

[Michael Scott]

Folks?

Thank you for allowing me to join this forum.

I thought I would start with photos of the Tamiya F4J finished as an RAF machine. Started in 1997 and finished in 2018. Been through a number of house moves in this time.

Yellow Hammer decals, Eduard brass, Hataka paint. Nose cone finished in brown as per a photo I seen. 

Not great photos but I hope you like. Regards Michael

can I ask - as a prop guy - what updates you made / are required to make the UK version?

different weapons etc?

Firstly apologies for the late reply.

I made very little changes from the original US Marines kit. I was guided by info from the old Verlinden lock on book and other info. Some of the batch of aircraft were repainted in standard RAF colours on servicing. I found photos of ZE361 on the internet with what appeared to be  replacement nose. I thought this would make an interesting variation to the grey.
