Tamiya F-4J Phantom VMFA-451 "Warlords" WIP
JohnB replied to a topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
This is coming along nicely. Looking real good! -
Thanks! I'm glad to see you here on the bright side!
-
Thanks Ernie. I should finish assembling the wings shortly. Some fit headaches.
-
Thanks Peter. Much easier for clumsy me!
-
LOL For sure!

LOL Thanks! You can't have too many references! -

If Harold does make the pod then I could have saved myself the effort. No, I didn't add the scope. Isn't it down in the rear fuselage for the radio operator? Would be very hard to see so not really worth the effort. -

Looks like some nice stuff. I'll have to check out his site.

Thanks.

Now I find this creates a problem fitting the "lips" (E8 & E9) to the intakes. Re-thinking this now.
-
Agreed! As a example, here's a shot of the intakes and louvers. The kit PE pieces are VERY fiddly (a good example of the cuss-factor). I decided to use little strips of sheet plastic instead.

Onward and upward as they say.
-
I hope to finish it off this time Peter.
-
We'll see Ernie!
-
I have my fingers crossed on this build Mike. Cuss-factor and all!
-
I have to say that, in my humble opinion, it has a high cuss-factor. Especially the very fiddly PE parts for the intake dividers. I may substitute some plastic strips cut to size as I think that would be much easier.
-
I had begun work on this kit a few months ago and lost my "want to" and put it away for "later". Well, now is later, at least for the foreseeable future. Here's a pic to show it's current state. We'll see how it goes.

Thank you Martin. Something a little bit different than just OOB. Scratching the pod was easier than I first thought. -

Thanks Peter! It took me forever to decide on WHICH markings I was going to go with and I'm happy with the one's I decided on. -
