For the sky terror mk III I have some ideas for designs. They are some very obscure planes that I took a liking to that might not need a full build. and if people had a preference one could be finished quickly

AHH, OK, In that case, I`m liking the F-15....
Okay I have looked at the XB-68 several times since I voted for the F-15 and the more I see the XB-68 the more I like it, stubby anhedral wings with wing tip landing gear, long fuselage, high mount dihedral horizontal stabs with generous leading edge sweep for supersonic operation. YES I like it.
Doesn't look like a "small" update ... very nice Paint ...

OH HELL YEAH, I would go for the Voodoo as well, I used to watch them and F-4 Phantoms fly over my house heading out to who knows where, or on approach everyday, also heard sonic booms quite a bit, which ultimately came to an end because of complaints from the public. They were flying out of Hamilton AFB in Novato Ca., which was eventually closed in the `70`s (Gov. cuts), Man, I loved living under their pattern as a teen

UPDATE: Well according too this article, the F-4 was inspired by the F-101:

I know that the plane looks good in dark blue as seen here, BUT the blue sections were actually 'Flat Olive Drab'. The old photographs are faded due to the chemical changes in the dyes used in photography. I have posted this scheme using a plastic model that I bought as a reference. I hope you and everyone like it.

I hope you don't mind, @JTUTTLE11 , here's a link to your color scheme that you're talking about and a couple of comparison pictures to illustrate what you're talking about:

I am building the model so it can use any CS (with minor tweeks) from the g5 P-51D mustang and newer so it is a place holder. The one shown is the bald eagle scheme (my favorite). I will either make a full custom scheme or use the raf scheme as a starting point.
Any color issues at this point in the build can be taken up with who ever made the bald eagle scheme of knife edge software.
