Great your back again Matt.

My dad crewed the G's Down at George AFB. When the Gulf War hit, George was on the BRAC shopping block, and Dad ended up at Mountain Home on the EF-111 and going to the Gulf during desert storm

Very nice work on the HARMS, I'm currently on the struggle bus with the ancient 1/48 scale Fujimi F-4E, markings are for a Nellis AFB Phantom in 1970, the kit is from the same year and is showing every bit of its age. The Zoukei-Mura offering is the exact opposite! Happy modeling!

Matt and Phantoms, can the day get any better ? You were missed. Got one of those suckers and waiting for the coming Meng kit. Hope you and your loved ones have a great week.

I was 9 when Desert Storm happened and you discribed my interest in modern jets exactly, It basically brick walls after 91. The Hill scheme Wild Weasels over the desert are my favourite images from that conflict.

I used the speed hunter decals on a 1/32 F4G. They are incredible. I am so excited for this build. I've never clicked a video so fast in my life.

Go to the 10 Percent True KZfaq channel and search for the show discussing integration of AGM-88s on Ukraine's MiG-29s. More than you ever wanted to know about the versions of HARMs and the adaptor rails.

All of the ALE-40 chaff and flare dispensers that I saw at Ramstein on our F-4Es and on the Spangdahlem F-4Es and F-4Gs that I saw at Ramstein and Zaragoza in 1983-1986 were FS 36622 light gray or FS 34079 dark green. I never ever saw a silver ALE-40 in real life or in photos. From your photo of the pylon at around 12 minutes into the video, some ALE-40s were painted green. The chaff bundles were a flat silver, while the flares were red. I wish I could post photos here, I took a bunch back then that would probably be useful to you.

My father loved the F-4 and told me it was the best aircraft he ever worked with. From George AFB his squadron went to Thailand for the Vietnam debacle.

Glad you back Matt with all your great skills.

I've been waiting for this one. I have the 1/32 Revell F4G in my stash and well.......

I feel you on the Wild Weasel appeal. Playing DCS, I've realized it's the most fun mission to play. There's just something fun about knowingly targeting something that's targeting you, and having that cat-and-mouse exchange where you try to knock it our with HARMs or get the radar to sit and turn on when you throw decoys at it.

Yup, it's great to see you back again and even better posting an awesome project. Roll on the next episodes.

I have noticed one of the best wat to tell the quality of a kit is the thinness of the fins on bombs or missels. The thinner the better.

Good to see you back at the bench fella, it's been a while and good to see these 'work in progress' builds.

Gotta agree with you on the F-4G being my Phavorite Phantom - great work on the HARMS and thanks for sharing

Beautiful work Matt. Inspiring as always. 👌

Good to see you back and I hope all is well. As usual absolutely cracking stuff. I'm not even really a jet guy but I'm really looking forward to following this one.

I was a UH-1 CW2 PIC flying in B company 1/159th AVN BDE. Only reason I post this is that it is amazing the wide range of technology in that conflict. We didn't even have GPS in our aircraft and were flying all over northern Saudi and Southern Iraq using only the navigation techniques we learned at Fort Mother Rucker

Dude I’m SO stoked that you’re doing Euro1. I’m planning a Euro1 F-111 but I’m gonna put it on hold so I can learn from you

They really look nice

I built the hawasaga wild weasel when it came out was a great kit at the time was way a head of the competition .very dated now lol .got to say your model work is fantastic mate

Nice work, can't wait for next episode. Are you going to use any pilot/rio figures? and does zoukei-mura provide any figures with that kit?

Do you already have Reid Air/Speed Hunter Graphics’ big decal sheet “Combat Weasels”, #48020 from 2018 for your future Desert Storm build ? It has been discontinued but is still visible on their website. You’re welcome to have mine if you’d like.

I was 13 during ODS and I was also glued to my TV every evening, watching the news and what ops were being run. I’m right with you, the Wild Weasel was awesome and the whole idea of the mission is crazy and cool at the same time. I’m sure you’ve seen it but here is a cool little inspiring video. Looking forward to watching this build kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fOCaY9xn3dCmmqs.html

What's wrong with the sizing of Eduard's MERs? You mentioned this, so for my education. Thanks.

It's good your back Matt. I've got this kit as well as I am a late model f-4 fan also. I wonder did you notice a late model f-4e can be built from this kit? I just can't find aftermarket decals ugh. Meng is supposed to release f-4e/g as well

Wow, the detail put into just two missles. The rest of this build will be awesome. Can't wait. Just curious, how much time do you think you have getting the missles to this point? Great work and a well done video. Thanks!

Hi Matt, I'm really glad to see you back! What's your opinion of Testor's Dullcote for a clear flat finish? I've got a few bottles I picked up recently, but haven't used them yet.

though he's a very angry guy I still enjoy some of his videos.

What airbrush are you using?

MING F-4G

Great job so far!!!! (as always) Two questions.... 1) I noticed you painted the projectile white and then painted with MRP104 (FS36622) Did you paint the entire projectile body with FS36622 or did you paint it with FS36622 except for the radome (which you painted white)? I'm asking you this because I found a photo (i53.photobucket.com/albums/g77/Mlodj/AGM-88_zps2hdhyw7r.jpg ) of a live HARM loaded on a Hornet that looks like the radome is white 2) For the yellow stripe on the missile, you said you used an MRP yellow. Which code?
