bar side Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Each one probably has more parts than the 1/48 ERTL one I am building at the moment. F-4D though rather than these rather nice looking FGR2s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Meanwhile in all this excitement over the airfix I’ve forgotten I’ve still to apply decals to my last build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Lack of progress, been a bit busy, but canopies are on and gaps filled, can only get on with painting the navy one, this idiot forgot to check his stock of light aircraft grey.

PhantomBigStu Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Finally got some LAG so can crack on with painting Edited February 2, 2018 by PhantomBigStu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Finally got the undersides all done ready for masking, then sanding and painting of the upper paint work Edited February 13, 2018 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Upper painted, now for the sanding before I mask the spine and inner wings properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Main painting done, now to clean up the canopies (which was why they were removed, one had some issues and i grabbed the wrong model) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Not happy, broke both canopies, fortunatly had enough spares to salvage, but only enough for 1 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Suspect it will be a while before Airfix can provide me with a spare canopy so looks like the RN will be finished alone, now just to clean the canopy before the horrendous tasks of decalling. EDIT: or not, looks like one of the peices has massive glue marks I doubt will sand out so thats two canopies Ill be requesting Edited March 1, 2018 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks to airfix spares back on track one almost ready for decals, just needs to dry and have the canopy cleaned up, the RN needs a fair bit more work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 And the others caught up, should have the them both ready for decals by the weekend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Well had problems with the navy one, but the raf one is definitely ready for decals, though looking at the number I’ll may well die of old age putting them on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 The heavier half of the decals are on having done the underside and top ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) All done probably very unrealistic for a grey fg1 but who cares Edited April 11, 2018 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 And the RAF one is finished 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 That's just a bit nice Stu, one of my favourite Brit Phantom schemes & you look to have caught it very well. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
