RN FG-1 Phantom 1/32 scratch conversion


Recommended Posts

Been awhile, sorry for the delay.

haven't had any motivation since April. Although I have been working on a fullsize HP Halifax instrument panel.

But today Jeroen Peters and I visited the SME at Veldhoven and the juices came flooding back.

The burner cans have been fitted followed by the bellysection. This will get the project up to speed.

To plug holes I prefer to use the same type of plastic rather than filler. Makes scribing easier.

The gaps gave been plugged with shaped wedges and I am happy with the dry fit. As you can see the bum is greater than the Standard  F-4. I call it the Kardashian.

Not just yet Tom.😄. First the details such as the shiny bits of the slats mechanism (steel?). I sprayed them aluminium to kill off the shine. Also painted the red edges of the control surfaces. Really hate red, no matter how well you mask, it always seeps under the tape. Oh well. 

But soon a coat of varnish and then Tom's decals.

Help!
I got the Kits World 1/32 ejection seat detailset, this is 3d based.

But there are no instructions where to place the parts. Cannot find

instructions on the web, not on their site.

First time (not even that) user and not amused so far.

Thanks

Cees

Got some of the Kits World parts on the ejection seats (not worth showing) and the canopies fitted. Nearly there apart from scratchbuilding some auxiliary doors and the nosewheel scissor links. Hope to finish this before the year is out. Already thinking of the next project.😌
