I was going to say something about how great your work is on the free hand strips Splash but after that offensive description toward this beautiful aircraft I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm speechless that such diatribe could come from someone like you... :evil:

HAHAHAHA, As you know I'm just kidding. Outstanding work on such an UGLY aircraft! ;-) :ha: :ha:

That looks better than decals. Absolutely stunning work.

Really good paintwork there Splash. It enhances the lines of what is one of the world's most beautiful jet aircraft :grin:

That's impressive freehand spraying, Splash and I agree with you...you can put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig! ;-)
I tend to view the F-4 as a piece of two-be-four, with wings. Not pretty, but infinitely useful.

This is a bit like fishing - cast in the bait and see if you get a bite. Splash has bitten on a couple of occasions and has almost been reeled in :ha:

I don't really think the F-4 is that good looking, but couldn't resist the urge to keep describing it as such given your earlier comments Splash - soz and all that.

Nice work on those stripes Splash,

There was probably less stress than messing with the decals as well!

Regards

I set myself up as the bait so who is being reeled in? :ha: :ha: :ha: :ha: :ha: :ha: :ha: :ha:

Now that is a seriously good bit of freehand spraying Splash, I'm very impressed.

Stunning work as usual Splash. You're a brave man. I don't think I would have ever tried that.

Thanks for all the comments, I'm glad I tried the free hand spraying, I think it's turned out not bad and probably easier than trying to apply the decals.
