discussion RN Phantom F-4K Fujimi 1:72

[colin m]

Well it's finished. I've wanted one of these RN Phantoms for ages, it was the extended front gear I liked. So, it was an old kit, which will turn 30 years old sometime this year. It went together quite well with the only real problem being the decals. If you build one of these, buy new decals.

Great result Colin. Very good job on the canopy ... and oh those decals look like they took some time so superb effort mate.

Thanks all for having a look. I can't say I'm totally happy with the finish. The fight with the decals was a bit disappointing, also, I'm sure it's a satin finish, it all looks a bit mat here.

the classic Ark Royal image

The nice thing about building modernish aircraft is that, yes, pictures are all over the place. Even some jacked up like this one ready for take off.

new tool Airfix RN Phantoms

Well now, that will be a far better kit than this one, and this certainly isn't bad. So, I might just be tempted, except, apart from the detail, it will look very much the same.

I have barely touched mine

Come on now Peter, pull your finger out. That lovely shiny gloss black paint must be dry by now.

Great job, Colin. An ornament for your show case.
Next model another "Monster" in 1/32 scale??......Maybe HK's B-17??!!

Next model another "Monster" in 1/32 scale

Yes, Stefan. That will be the huge shadow cast over both the Phantoms from the monster on the shelf above !!

I've always had an urge to do the RN Phantom too. You've done a great job!
