Really nice models, Really. Impressive. BUT In my opinion, the phantom panel work is way heavy handed on the top side. The soot comes out the rear so the forward hull should be much, lighter the model. This one looks like the plane has been flying in close formation with a B-52's T-34 engine pod (a real smoker). I have seen photos of the bottom of F-4's looking like this models topside, returning from a strike, but not the top side. Another point, the seams were tight on the wing panels. dirt and stains like on the model are ok around access panels, but around skin panels.... not so much. I am in the aviation industry and this is my opinion only. My suggestion is to use a just barely darker light grey pencil (no. 4 lead) for the panel lines, use your fine method on the access panels.
