Good to have a Phantom II sheet, especially one as nice as this particular one. I've always thought that VF-32s markings from this time period were particularly nice. Though it is not readily apparent, the CAG colors are in the 'jewels' on the blade of the sword on the rudder. Usual light gull grey over white and Superscale has kindly provided the nose anti-glare panel so we don't have to mask this rather difficult to do area of the aircraft.

Finding a kit for this isn't that difficult, though you may have to do a bit of modification. ESCI did an F-4B and while an OK kit, is not that well detailed. The other option is the Hasegawa 1/48 F-4N. This can be easily backdated to B specs with a bit of sanding and filling. Full markings are provided for this aircraft and walkways can be found on the recently issued F-4 walkway decals.

Below is a photo of a 'standard' F-4B from this same unit around this time. You'll notice a few small differences in terms of the size of the ship name and the placement of the fuselage sword. The one below is also named 'Vickie II' on the splitter plate.
