This sheet provides the extensive F-4 Phantom airframe data (including panel numbers/labels) for either an F-4B or F-4J. The airframe data included is the painted (open stencil) type of markings commonly seen in reworked USN/USMC F-4B and F-4J Phantoms typically in the mid/late 1960s to early 1970s (illustration shows the F-4J but the F-4B specific markings are provided). Note that this is not the printed (full letter) factory style of airframe data - check references for which style of airframe data was applied for a specific F-4.
Includes placards for the landing gear, speed brakes, speed brake wells, auxiliary air doors, wing external fuel tanks, and main and nose gear doors. Also includes markings for all pylons, bomb adapter racks (inboard and outboard pylon types), and LAU-7 rail markings
