Tamiya F-4J

I started this one for the Vietnam GB over on LSP. I didn't finish on time, but I finally got it done. Aires cockpit, Sierra Hotel intakes and burner cans. Eduard PE everything. Decals from an old Microscale sheet. Though I had prepainted PE instrument panels, I think the Eduard ones look grainy; I painted the bare ones in the Aires set. Perhaps of interest: the seam between the upper fuselage and the wing root had a significant gap. I stuck a balloon up the tail end and inflated it while the gap filling CA dried. It worked better than I thought it would!

Bill, that's STUNNING! 

One thing I'd like to do here is a Vietnam GB, once we all get settled in and such.  I think that'd be an absolute winner in my books.

Thanks, Ernie. I'm thinking about dragging it to my local show/contest this weekend!

Really nice looking Phantom Bill. One E is waiting for me in my stash, together with gazillion of another unfinished projects

Thanks for sharing

Cheers

That’s what the proctologist said! 

 

Seriously, nice job on the Phantom!

Nice Phantom!  Glad the colonoscopy procedure came out well too!
