Breaker Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Calling this one finished, done some little touch ups since the WIP. Kit is the Hasewaga boxing with kit decals, Eduard wheels and painted using Alclads for the metallics and Mr. Hobby/Tamiya for the main scheme with ProModeller wash. I decided not to weather this bird any further, I like the finish I've got just by fading the panels a bit. My first attempt at seatbelts, really glad I tried a bit of detailing, it makes a big difference compared to my RAF Phantom! And parked on the flightline! Thanks to the guys who helped me out on the various threads I put up 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skids Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Beautiful toom Have to agree with stevej60, its my favourite phantom scheme ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Jumbo Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Lovely! Unlike some my favourite was the camo scheme worn by early RAF machines! But I like the RN scheme too! Edit: Just spotted one lurking at the other end of your shelf! Edited July 17, 2014 by General Jumbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thank you for all the kind words chaps. General J, I'm firmly in the three tone RAF early camo camp as my favourite Phantom scheme as well, which is why it got done first! Plan now is to do the Alcock and Browne scheme, then a F3 and move onto the USAF/UN F-4s. Have an entire shelf of Phantoms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jer Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 That's a great looking Phantom you've built Breaker. Seat belts really enhance it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritag Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) That's a great looking Phantom you've built Breaker. Yep. Agree with that. Looks so good in FAA colours. Gonna have to go off and google for vids of Phantoms landing on the Ark Royal now...... Edited July 18, 2014 by Fritag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStig Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Fantastic job! This ones going on the wishlist. Love the seatbelts too, how did you do them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Fantastic job! This ones going on the wishlist. Love the seatbelts too, how did you do them? Tamiya tape and wire bent to resemble buckles. Took forever to do but worth it compared to the price of eduard PE I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Great built, it looks amazing!! One question about the model, does it have the attachment points for the bridle when it was launched by catapult? I am not exactly sure how this was done but I thought it was a couple of "hooks" under the wings near the leading edge. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got them somewhere with the kit just misplaced them and forgot until you mentioned it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
