Been a while since there has been a new 1/72 F-4 sheet and this one for two very popular F-4Js should do well. It is designed for any F-4J kit and there are quite a few good ones out there to choose among. Foremost is probably the Hasegawa kit followed by Fujimi and Monogram as the top three choices.

The VF-84 plane in in the standard high viz scheme of light gull grey over white. The fin will need painted black and the tips of the fin and wings will need done in yellow. Check references as I do believe that the stab tips were yellow as well.

The other is one of several all black F-4s flown by VX-4. Immensely popular at air shows, the tail markings were removed from their F-14s after the Navy went overboard with political correctness in the 1990s. However, I believe that less reactionary people's cooler heads have prevailed and the bunny marking is back on the VX-9 planes.
