  1. I built Revell's 1/72 kit with the Freight Dog GR.4 set and a resin nose from Flight Path (which is meant for the Hasegawa kit, but fits the Revell kit nicely). I havent built the Hasegawa kit so I can't comment, but the Revell kit is a straight forward build, with good detail oob. Cheers, Todd
  2. Thank you for the replies gents!
  3. Thank you Rob. I figured it might have taken some time from the time the missile was operational until it reached all of the squadrons.
  4. Thanks gents, this is helpful!
  5. Hello all, I was hoping one of you Phantom experts out there could tell me when (or if) RAF Germany FGR.2s traded in their AIM-7s for the Skyflash. Thanks!
  6. Hello all, I'm building a Phantom FGR.2 in the grey/green scheme. I would like to fit it with the SUU-23 gun pod, but my search for references is coming up a bit short... would anyone be able to point me toward some reference photos that show the details and markings? Also, the pods of that timeframe appears to be a dark green. Any suggestions as to which shade of green? Thanks!
  7. Rodders, As Mike said above, the seat in the Eagle is typically black. Originally the seat cushions were green/olive drab, but have since been replaced with black "sheepskin" pads. This happened in the 2008 time frame (give or take a few years). The parachute on the upper "shoulders" of the seat starts off black, but quickly fades and looks green or grey. The rails for the seat are black above the cockpit sill, and grey below. Hope this helps... Todd
  8. I tackled this conversion a few years ago. Fairly straight forward iirc. Here's a link... http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/289680-172-t-45c-goshawk/
  9. Great finish! The weathered paint and very subtle panel lines looks very realistic to me.
  10. Beautiful! I lived near Edward's AFB when I was a youngster and saw these flying from time to time. Your model brings back great memories!
  11. I used the Freightdog set with the Revell kit to build my GR.4. I also used the Flightpath update set to correct the nose profile of the revell kit. The FP set is meant for the Hasegawa kit, but the resin nose and many of the other bits fit the Revell kit quite nicely.
  12. Hi Lish, I like what you're trying to do... I too think an in-flight Eagle makes an impressive display! I completely agree with Blue_Centurion and think you'll be much happier with a stand you build vs. a store bought plastic stand. Here is a stand I build for my Hasegawa Eagle using a scrap of oak and an aluminum bar I bent to shape (and polished). To attach the model, I used 2 threaded bolts (and washers for spacing), which slide into aluminum tubing inside the model. Good Luck! Todd
  13. That's a good looking Rook you've got there... nicely done! I agree with you that the Frogfoot is a very purposeful-looking machine, and i think you have captured the look very well. I have that kit in my stash and plan to start it soon. Any pitfalls I need to watch out for?
  14. This fellow has executed this technique very well... Beyond my skill level, but really impressive results! http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=159&t=1362582&i=320
  15. Hi Julien, I converted the 1/72 Revell kit to a GR.4 using the Freight Dog set (here's the link if you're interested). I modified the kit cockpit, but this Combat Decals has cockpit decals for a pre-TARDIS (did I say that right?) GR.4 if you'd rather go that route (https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/COM72003). Hope this helps! Todd
