It has been a while since I did any work on USN aircraft and a spare hour or two over last weekend gave me time to dust off some bare metal and get them undercoated. Normally I concentrate on one aircraft at a time but that is taking a lot of time so I thought I would batch process the next ones up to try and see if I could produce all the F-4 Phantom Mig Killers from the two Osprey books
Current situation on aircraft as of today (9th July 2014) means that I need 16 air frames to start the project keeping some of the old models (10 B models and 6 Js) which is 6 packs of models, and 20 if I keep the old models and replace them with new metal (11 B Models and 9 Js) which is 7 packs . The beauty of 1/600th aircraft means that it isn't too expensive :) and I can always find a use for the spare aircraft.....
Old and new scheme for those interested in the differences
Couple of shots of the ones in the new scheme.
As with all gamers, projects come and go. Models you were thinking of moving on get a new lease of life due to a comment in the Hobby or a movie on TV. This will hopefully be my record of my best endeavours not to start anything new until I have at least completed 75% of what I already have....as if that is ever going to happen ;)

They are fantastic. I'm rather fond of the 1/600th stuff myself. How about a full squadron next?
