Built this as a quick build to get over the long haul of the F-4EJ.
The kit builds pretty well , the only area I had a little trouble with was the fit around the lower nose right at the front.
This aircraft was originally painted in overall grey green but then had a rough over spray of the dark green. Here's an image from Wikipedia
I tried to duplicate this but I didn't see the above image until I'd nearly finished so I don't think I really got there. Still it's good enough for the cabinet.
The kit comes with 5 really nice figures so I thought I'd have a go at painting 1 up. The base is a cheap $3 frame. I added the grass matt and added some mud/dirt along with bit of foliage to break it up a bit.
