Excellent idea, this should look superb

 

[Ian M]

Nice idea. Remember to clean your specs for this one.

I have a soft spot for Phantoms so I will be watching these go together.

[papa 695]

I must be on my best behaviour then

I got a little confused, 'Phantom Menace' in the Vietnam SIG. But i'm ok now lol, going to look great Ian and i like the idea too. I love (no), i love the (NO!!), I LOVE THE SMELL OF NAPALM IN THE MORNING. (Brain) I'm out of here, you're on your own.

Have fun, John

I love these little 1:144 kits but never had the guts to do one myself.

How are you going to mount them.

I'll be watching with interest.

Tony.

 

[papa 695]

Hi Tony there going to be inflight so some wire should keep them up. The idea is to be dropping Napalm on a hillside vietcong possition

Made a slow start on this one View attachment 39843 View attachment 39844 View attachment 39845 View attachment 39846 I had to fill the wheel wells as the parts didn't fit, they must have been made for wheels open. Also had to rescribe the underside View attachment 39859 View attachment 39860 View attachment 39861 View attachment 39864

[Guest]

Is that 1/144 scale? I thought it was 1/72 until I scrolled down a bit!

Fantastic job Ian, that's looking very good.

Cheers

Patrick

 

[mossiepilot]

They are really well done Ian, especially in 1/144, lovely looking Phantoms.

Tony.

Ive been watching this one from the start ian , its a fantastic bit of modelling skill. I love it when someone has a vision of what they want and just goes for it. The trees are great and the filler foam explosion is just pure genius and will look so real. Im just loving the whole thing , its brilliant , 5 stars at the ready ! , cheers tony

 

[Guest]

The expanding foam is genius Ian! Like Tony, i love the feats of imagination that we all come up with. Mind you, at the moment it looks like something from a science-fiction movie.. the Blob!

Cheers
