Just as a side note, those intakes are a great, and very quiet, place for taking a short nap late at night. With the engines shut down, naturally
They're the perfect size for a slender young Marine, and if you make sure your feet are pulled in, you're virtually invisible from the outside.

I'll give it to Zsolt, one of the best in the repainting biz when it comes to weathering! @zsoltquack, do you have the SWS F-4B/Ns?
I should've grabbed those FR P-40s on sale, great model as I explore more WWII mounts to fly.
Can't recall much about the Phantoms from your side of pond, but ours (RAF) had a whopping great pitot probe for the ramp system just inside each intake ; you sorta had to slither underneath them to get all the way back there ; and yes , not a bad place for a nap !
