Hi all...just a quick update on the Newark OH F-4 resto...we applied the rest of the camo colors as well as painted the radadome...now off to Phase 2 for markings, signage, etc.

A special thanks to Rick at the Collings Foundation for his steer and pics that helped us with the paint scheme and planning for the markings.

You can't tell from this photo but I think our F-4 is smiling a bit....

Since a lot of us don't feel like being tracked by FACEPLANT and refuse to submit, we are unable to enjoy the fruits of your considerable labors :roll:

Very nice job with the paint scheme. It's really great to see an outdoor display getting this kind of attention. Kudos to all involved! :drink3:

Thanks to all of those that are blessed with the skills to post photos on WIX! One evening when the family is asleep I need to go read those instructions on this board.....

Here it is with that green that came out wrong.

Actually that green isn't too far off from what medium green is supposed to be. Wish you could have seen ours in the sunlight, wished I'd have seen that picture sooner !

Thanks Mike B for posting those pics! I took my daughter by tonight and I didn't realize how good this bird looks...guess I didn't appreciate it suffering from heat exhaustion during painting!
