Skyhunter66 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Ok more Phantom obsession - this time the Revell 1:48 version! I decided to do this as FGR2 XV474 from RAF Wattisham in 1992. I used Xtradecals for this and they went on a treat. Otherwise it is OOB and it was quite an easy build. I used Gunze Mr Color for the greys, Alclad for the exhausts etc and Alcad Light Sheen varnish which I think works really well. I started this in the summer and realised recently that I had 5 kits at various stages so needed to get them finished off. I have also just finished a 1:72 Fujimi Phantom and hopefully this weekend I shall have finished off my Hasegawa 1:48 FAA Phantom which I will post up when done. Any comments welcome Chris 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG058 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Your paintwork looks flawless! You should do some fancy photography trickery with an airfield background to finish the look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Vader Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Now that is nice, love the grey Phantoms. Just one criticism , the backgrounds distracting. Get an old bedsheet and use that for the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franky boy Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Great build, love the paint job. Is that re box of a hasegawa kit or is it all Revell? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyhunter66 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Well thanks for all the kind comments - very much appreciated. This was the Revell re-boxed Hasegawa kit and I bought it for £9.99 years ago. If I'd known then what it would cost on EBay to buy another one now I would have stocked up! Point taken about the photos - I took them rather quickly this morning as my wife was due home at 2pm and I was supposed to be working from home!! Currently finishing off the Hasegawa 1:48 Silver Jubilee phantom and everything has gone well until of course the end! I knocked off both stabilisers and made a right hash of the nose wheel landing doors! Anyway I will upload when finished for your critique! I also have two of those Eduard US Navy Phantoms which I bought a few months ago and am itching to get stuck in to! Cheers Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spad Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Now that is really nice, really nice. Nicely restrained levels of weathering and high/low lighting, Imparts a real dense of weight and solidness (?) Thanks for showing - probably one of my favourite Phantoms on here. cheers Rick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
