That’s incredible, thanks for sharing!
Some updates…
Texturing, stencils, weathering and ordnance. Still not done with the texturing, but getting closer.

This is fabulous! One of my favourite fighters of all time. I built several kits of it from 1/144th to 1/32nd scale. I was at one time considering a 1/144th scale aircraft carrier but I have nowhere to put it.
If you want more information about the F-4 fine details you can view this YouTube video and do some screen captures. It’s a 4k video so there is lots of detail. The link: F-4E Walkaround video
Oh, and although the camera work is shaky pausing the video reveals lots of details. The camera and lens are so good there is a ton of detail in most frames even if the video is too unsteady to see the detail when it is running.
That is a good quality video. I can’t believe I didn’t find it while doing my research.
Just saw this Mark, that is one sweet rendition of the F4. If I didn’t know better, aka showing up on a 3D forum I would’ve thought I was looking at some real shots. The weathering is perfect! - Rich

You edited you first posts (both) and because of notifications now i see:
sometimes… you are the one with the Hmy Caroline… so it’s a double repeated like now.
I updated the hash tags for the year-end contest. I had no idea it would re-post the threads. That wasn’t my intent.
Nevermind… but me stupid didn’t recognize you did both… so i like (and liked 
) it double times because the obsession of detail in both totally different models are awseome

Hello Mark,
this is an outstanding work! May I ask you something about it? I do not know who to get am PM send to you, maybe you can contact me? Thank you! Dom
I sent you a PM
Polished job so far 
Textured in photoshop or substance painter? though either way looks pretty darn good.
If this is still a wip?! then I’d suggest slightly more time on the wear pass however that’s just me being nitpicky.
Otherwise only out of interest as a fellow hard surface adherent 
is there any chance seeing a couple of wireframe shots?
Cheers.
Texturing was done in Substance Painter. I think I’m done with this WIP. I know these planes could get really dirty, particularly underneath, but I didn’t want to go too crazy. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks.
Definitely some hard core topology right there, actually didn’t occur to me that each panel was individually generated as a separate shape / object 
although makes overall sense due to it’s obviously high resolution.
Again nicely done.
Edit:
And man! they did carry a ‘truck’ load of ordnance.
