If you’re a fan of the F-4 Phantom II then AOA Decals has something of interest coming soon in 1/32 scale
32-034 - VMFA-212 LANCERS USMC F-4J Phantom in the Vietnam War
This limited 1/32 decal sheet covers one F-4J Phantom as she appeared in 1972 in Da Nang, South Vietnam, and MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.
Also included are the squadron identifier markings applied on their TERs and MERs.
Full airframe data, including panel numbers/labels, is also included with this release. The same data sheet is also sold separately, see 32-031. This specific aircraft covered on this sheet had this type of airframe data.

32033 - VMFA-232 RED DEVILES USMC F-4J Phantoms in the Vietnam War
This limited 1/32 decal sheet covers one Marine fighter attack squadron - VMFA-232 Red Devils - in the Vietnam War. Two options are provided, one from their first F-4 Vietnam deployment in 1969-70 and the second from their later return in 1972-73. Both the earlier and later "red devil" diamond-shaped squadron insignias are accurately represented.
Full airframe data, including panel numbers/labels, is also included with this release. The same data sheet is also sold separately, see 32-031. The later 1972/73 specific aircraft covered on this sheet appeared to have this type of airframe data; however, the earlier option most likely had the original factory type airframe data, which is not provided.

32-032 - VMFA-323 DEATH RATTLERS USMC F-4B Phantoms in the Vietnam War
This limited 1/32 decal sheet is for F-4B Phantom conversions to the Tamiya F-4 Phantom series of kits. Note that this release is for decals only - F-4B conversion parts are NOT included! Various aftermarket F-4B conversion sets are available; including GT Resin, Cutting Edge, CAM, and RealModel.
This sheet covers one Marine fighter attack squadron - VMFA-323 Death Rattlers - when they operated the F-4B Phantom in the Vietnam War at Chu Lai Air Base. Three options are provided covering 1967 and 1968 period, with an additional set of crew names provided to also depict one at a slightly earlier time. Also provided are decals for the crew helmets.
Full airframe data for one aircraft, including panel numbers/labels, is also included with this release. The same data sheet is also sold separately, see 32-031. All three aircraft covered on this sheet had this type of airframe data.

32031 - F-4 Phantom Airframe Data – 1/32
This sheet provides the extensive F-4 Phantom airframe data (including panel numbers/labels) for either an F-4B or F-4J. The airframe data included is the painted (open stencil) type of markings commonly seen in the 1960's into the early 1970's on USN/USMC F-4B and F-4J Phantoms (illustration shows the F-4J but the F-4B specific markings are provided). Note that this is not the printed (full letter) style of airframe data - check references for which style of airframe data was applied for a specific F-4.
Includes placards for the landing gear, speed brakes, speed brake wells, auxiliary air doors, wing external fuel tanks, and main and nose gear doors. Also includes markings for all pylons, bomb adapter racks (inboard and outboard pylon types), and LAU-7 rail markings.
