It was a nice day today so I took it outside and started to put on the primary colors. I am experimenting with how to paint the exhaust nozzles to get the right look. I used aluminum, gloss black and flat black..I was going to do the nozzles over but I think I will keep it as is. Waiting on some "Flight metal" to arrive in the mail to detail out the tail end. Next is panel lines and some weathering but not to much weathering as I guess it's supposed to be a "show plane" in real life So I figure it would be kept pretty clean by the crew chief. .

Great job!
Love the flying field. When I was in the Reno club in the 1970s, we used to have a 3 day weekend there with one of the Las Vegas clubs...memories! Then the Air Force came back in order to secretly test the F-117.
Your F-4 project is one of the best threads I've ever seen in the forum.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!
...and thanks!
