that the photos show certain views from the prototypes. Some pictures will show F4C and some F4E! Some modi-

spoilers and ordinance kit.   This manual describes the assembling of  “ PRO” model. Opening canopy, speed 

brakes, landing gear and doors are factory installed. Before you start building and setting
