F-4J(UK) - Tamiya (1/32)

[ThomasProbert]

Greetings all, 

This has been a long-time 'as and when' project that I completed this weekend - Tamiya's 1/32nd F-4J finished as an F-4J(UK) of the famous 74 'Tiger Squadron' in the mid-1980's.

It was built more or less out of the box, but with Mastercasters' FOD covers and YellowHammer decals. Paints were all Xtracolor enamels. 

It's the first time I have added crew figures to a model as my daughter requested that the pilots should be in it. I might add crews in the future as it adds a bit of life to the cockpit!

All the best,

Tom

Very nice Tom. Do love that scheme, the logo on the fin always reminds me of the Tiger that Came for Tea.

Great to see this special F-4 here. That’s an F-4J not often seen! 

Really nice build and the crew brings much more life to it. So your daughter was completely right!

Very nicely done. That’s an aircraft that never interested me much at all, however if a Spey powered version happened by, I’d be all over it.

In the moment there are some Phantom builds around here, different in scale and in version. Your British version looks fabulous and I like the low contrast scheme, paired with that black fin. The FOD covers are another eyecatcher.

Cheers Rob
