Cheers all, Ian all loaded up now.
I'd say this one is done - I've been playing around with the raised rivets trying to blacken them, but not so they are ''in your face'', I may go back to this later, they can stay like this for now.
Tip for Firefox users - if you press F11 you can expand your viewing screen, press F11 again when finished :geek
I used Tamiya weathering set D burnt red and burnt blue for the exhaust over some oil stain in the same set
Haven't glued the canopies yet, still in two minds for open or shut
I left the outer weapons pods off as they had additional fuel tanks, there is a empty resin set available I can order but out of stock at this time.
The bombs are not the load-out Showtime 100 had on but these were what the kit provided.
The old kit had some issues, but then it wouldn't be a challenge would it!

Personally I'd leave the canopies closed. But it's your project, Phil. Loadout looks fine. It may not be the right one for the 'famous' triple-kill mission, but Cunningham was flying a different machine that day anyway - and it didn't survive !! There's nothing to say that '5800' never flew with that loadout - it wasn't uncommon on Navy F-4's of that period.
Great build.
Ian

Apologies Paul, Warren, Gary, Adam,

Thankyou !
now after a suitable kit to do as ''Col Tombs'' mig that was shot down - any suggestions on this aircraft?
"Nguyen Toon (Nguyễn Tuân) or "Colonel Toon" or "Tomb" was a mythical North Vietnamese fighter pilot and flying ace who allegedly shot down 13 American aircraft during the Vietnam War. According to legend, he was killed in action on May 10, 1972, by the U.S. Navy F-4 Phantom crew of pilot Lt. Randy "Duke" Cunningham and radar operator Lt.(jg) William "Irish" Driscoll."
