In 1977 57th FIS 63-7688 look was much improved, the greenish looking tan disappeared and all looking shiny. also with the new all checkered tail prepared for the William Tell competition and then applied to all the squadron aircraft.
495 was the last of 13 F-4Cs for the 57th FIS, and arrived in February 1976. It left Iceland May 17, 1978 and went to the ADWC or Air Defense Weapons Center at Tyndall AFB.
The most peculiar thing here is the off color greenish tint of the repainted tan areas on this F-4C. I saw a few more like this around the same time period. Better have photographic proof if a model looking like this is brought to a modelling competition!
