Response to Let me see if I have this correct

so you could only build one of 10(?) Marine RF-4Bs with the kit. All of the other RF-4Bs had the thin wings.

To get an RF-4C from the B kit, you'll need:
-Unlsotted stabilators (Royale Resin sells some)
-Short afterburner nozzles (Cobra Company has some very nice ones that are way cheaper than Aires' or Eduard's)
-Keep the Navy-style inboard pylons
-Air Force F-4C cockpit with the RF's front instrument panel
-Air Force-style wheels
-Air Force-style seats, or MB Mk. 5 seats for an early RF-4C
-Air Force-style nose gear door
-Delete the Navy refueling door next to the cockpit and scribe a USAF-style one on the fuselage spine
-Delete the catapult hooks & their indentions from under the wings
-I can't recall, but there may be some Navy antennae here and there on the wing & fuselage that need to be deleted.

That's off the top of my head. Did I forget anything, guys?

Ben
