This is the first of Fox One's final two sheets. After several years of producing quality sheet, there will be no more new ones. The website will remain active so that this and other sheets can be sold so if you have ever wanted any Fox One sheets, now would be a great time to get them.

This superb sheet covers eight different F-4 Phantoms as operated by the USAF during Vietnam. All are in the SEA scheme of FS 34079/34102/30219 over 36622, and Fox One provides a full painting guide for these markings.

The first aircraft is an F-4E from the 58 TFS in 1972

Next is another F-4E, this time a MiG killer from the 336 TFS, also in 1972

This shark mouthed F-4E is from the 4th TFS in 1971

Moving on to the F-4Ds we have this MiG killer from the 523rd TFS in 1972.

The F-4C on the sheet is this ZG coded 67 TFS version named 'Jail Bait' from 1972

The first of two RF-4Cs is 'Peanut Butter Crackers' from the 11TRS in 1968

Then there is this rather sparsely marked RF-4C, 'Road Runner', also from the 11 TRS but in 1967 guise.

Finally, another 11 TRS RF-4C (not shown) in similar markings to the one above. This one is named 'Barrel Buster' and has a shark mouthed centerline tank.

In addition to the unique markings, there are insignia and ejection markings to do a number of the aircraft on the sheet, making this a real bargain for the Phantom Phreak.
