Would any of the talented painters around here be willing to do a retro USAF Thunderbirds F-4E series?

Good things come to those who wait.
I am usually not so interested in USAF Phantoms but the Thunderbirds are an exception.
Already started looking for reference material and the paintkit for Nick's F-4E.
Right now the Thunderbird T-38s are work in progress.

Thanks guys! It really is Christmas. I was going to wait until next Christmas to ask for the T-38 T-birds, hehe.

I'm talking-up the T-Bird paints over at the SOH. I'm using them in FSX, they're awesome.

If you've got the time.

Hartwigs F-4B/D paints don't work very well in FSX because of the alpha channels that make the wing and centerline fuel tanks invisible...they make other parts of the plane "see through". They're great in FS9, though!
