uuumm looks very odd to me... I'm not even sure we had that version... look under the nose
I may be wrong, but did even the later ex-US versions have all that?
Ho hum

No, that's a USAF version with the M-61 cannon under the nose. The later F-4J(UK) were ex-USN and didn't have the cannon fit, they also had a different radome to the USAF birds. The F-4J(UK) didn't have the undernose bump that some USN F-4s acquired which was an IR camera.
In conclusion, it looks like an F-4F (which was exclusively used by the German Air Force) painted in RAF markings. Badly.

Hmm.. that would appear to be the case Skip. A clue is also in the filename.. f4fdemo blah blah. Still baffles me when these things are painted up incorrectly (even painted well) but each to their own I suppose

One of the things I noticed (apart from it clearly being an F-4F, not a K/J), is that he took the serial number from a Merlin! Not something a lot would notice, but if you're asking for money for your models, then you could at least get simple things like that correct!

That airplane was originally released as a German F-4F model with 28 repaints. The British repaint being one of them. It's a demo version of a payware airplane from AFS Design.

I would, but I'm using FSX. If I still used FS9, I doubt I'd hesitate to buy the Cloud9 model!
