So the helmets are done and converted from VF-302 Stallions black and yellow to VMFA-333 Shamrocks white and green. I had an old hi-viz sheet for a VMFA-333 F-4J from 'Nam and this had Shamrock decals for the tanks so I used these as helmet decals. Just have to get the plane flat coated and finish up these last few details.

Well, the 1/32 scale Tamiya F-4S refurb is done and much happier with this scheme and markings. I got the rest of the subassemblies on and finished it off with some Matte Varnish. Didn't have a background big enough for it so I took some pictures outside now that the weather finally broke. Depicted as an F-4S from VMFA-333 "Shamrocks" in the mid-80s. More photos in the gallery.
