Description
F-4J (UK) 74 Sq RAF, 1988 NATO Tiger Meet Scheme. MULTIPLE SHEET SET. Love this jet (a standard USN F-4J leased to the RAF) . . . some of the most INept artwork ever applied to a military aircraft (let alone a “special” scheme) resulted in one of the most eye-catching Phantoms ever! I mean no offense to the artist (and after all, they designed and painted the artwork overnight at the last minute), but the tiger nose art looks like it was done by a none-too-talented nine year old! In spite of the technical “deficiencies” of the nose art, it looks very cool, and it is impossible to miss this jet even in a large collection of models. The tiger artwork was different on each side, and we of course captured those differences. Our decal set provides full crew names, serial numbers, and code letters (T, I, G, E, R, S, Q, N) for every F-4J 74 Sq flew at that time. Alternate markings allow you to build the early “gray tail” (“grey tail” for you Brits :)) scheme as well as the later standard “black tail” scheme without the Tiger Meet markings. Only 21 sets still available.
