With the Acad F-4B release, and the presence of all the bits in the box to do an N, I'm really considering doing that Eagle Claw VMFA-531 F-4N option. That or something off Impact's 531 sheet.
Been searching the net for info (load-outs). Found this recollection on the National Museum of the Marine Corps Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=403207619184 Quote:

These images were also posted on the Coral Sea site and elsewhere on Z-5. I figured I'd re-post them here since they would be on-topic -

I found additional on-line photos this week of VMFA-323 F-4s on that Coral Sea Cruise with ID stripes.
In this shot, the lower star&bar marking doesn't appear to be covered by the ID stripes. ![]() On this jet, you can see the extra "104" modex painted on the lower surface of the starboard flap. ![]() Of interest in this image is the mixed load of AIM-9L outboard and earlier AIM-9 version inboard. ![]()

On the -531 side, I found these images with ID stripes.
![]() I've only found images of one jet on that cruise with a name painted on the tail -> #206 ![]() ![]() Another image with the mixed load of AIM-9L outboard and earlier AIM-9 version inboard. ![]() Crusader fans will find this image interesting. It's an RF-8 from CVW-8 on the Nimitz launching from Coral Sea. ![]()

It's a cool scheme with an interesting history. I found the jourrney as much fun as building the model. Good luck with it!
