Decided which squadron my M61 armed F-4M in Air Defence Grey will be, well at least I have narrowed it down to two with one of the options more likely than the other.
I realised that not all squadrons that were Air Defence converted to the F-4 so if I could not find an F-4 squadron to suit my requirements why not a squadron that used another type of aircraft?
Out came the reference material and I decided on one of the Lightening squadrons, 5 or 11 and what helps is that both squadrons flew aircraft in the last colour schemes that the Lightening wore which fit in exactly with what I will paint the F-4 in

An added bonus is that I have a couple of boxing's of Hasegawa's Lightening F-6 in those very schemes flown by those very squadrons so its looking good as all the pieces are falling together.
I am leaning towards 11 squadron for a couple or reasons, 1) OGL has a 5 squadron F-4, 2)I prefer the yellow/black squadron bars over the red bars of 5 squadron in this colour scheme as I think the red stands out too much 3) I fancy using only the squadron bars on the fin rather than the Eagles often seen on 11 squadron machines at model shows and I like to make my models that little bit different.
