Patty just confirmed that Skymaster will paint my F-4 in the scheme that I want! 
"In 1971 VF-111 Sundowners transitioned to the F-4B Phantom II. On March 6, 1972 F-4B Bu. No 153019 201 was operating from the USS Coral Sea using the call-sign Old Nick 201. The aircraft was assigned to CDR Bob Pearl and Lt. Gil Sliney but this day Lt. Gary Weigand and Lt(jg) Bill Freckleton were at the controls when they encountered a MiG-17 over the Gulf of Tonkin and destroyed it with an AIM-9D making this F-4B a MiG killer. The Sundowners later transitioned to the F-4N variant. Aircraft, F-4B, NL 201, Bu.No. 153019 was restored to the original paint scheme by one of the later VF-111 squadrons. Old Nick 201 is perched on a pedestal just inside the main gate at NAS Key West, Florida."

Hi Guys.
I received an e-mail, then spoke to Patty at BVM. My F-4 is ready to ship! It was almost 8 weeks to the day (I ordered it on 6/30/11 and Patty placed the order with Skymaster on 7/1/11). I have a photo but it is in PNG format and won't load to RCU[:@]

RE: Maj. Woody's X-Treme Jets F-4C Phantom
and just to keep you interested....
i was looking for the VF-111 paint also, but they didn't have it in stock, so I got this this unit. it looks great!! had to put it together for air show the other weekend.
i'm thinking either the Wren 100 or JetCat P100 (when it shows up).

RE: Maj. Woody's X-Treme Jets F-4C Phantom
Here is the box that my F-4 Arrived in. There was no damage to the box at all. This kit was packed better than any kit I have ever received. The box itself is very heavy cardboard. Once the lid was off I noted that the entire box...top bottom and all sides was lined with plywood. Next there was a layer of white foam board around the complete perimeter. Inside everything was held together with cardboard dividers and tape. The model itself was wrapped in white foam and large bubble wrap. Plenty on foam was sprinkled throughout the box to prevent any shifting. Just an amazing job from the Skymaster shipping department!!
Unwrapping the model left me BREATHLESS!!! Stay tuned for more photos...............
