DaveJL Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Bit of a naive question there, but do we use the thread showing our builds as the work in progress thread also? Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Bit of a naive question there, but do we use the thread showing our builds as the work in progress thread also?Cheers Dave Yes, Start a thread for your build, and people will ask question of your build, in your thread! more general question go in the Phantom Chat section ie more questions, about, paintwork, load outs, missiles, history etc, ie ones not specific to your build HTH Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to load it out like the IDF did over Lebanon, so not that far to travel! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4h1phantom Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Hi, I had previously asked if some started builds could be elligible for the GB and I was told to post some pics. Last year I bought several decals and accessories in preparation for building several Phantoms but decided to start with the most troublesome. OK then. Here's a pic of what I have and a description of each: Candidate #1: old Revell RF-4C that I got very poorly built more than two decades ago and decided I would re-build. I finally made up my mind and it will become a F-4D in post-Vietnam markings. Nose lengthened by 5mm and Airfix short radome added replacing the original RF nose. May look complete but still needs a lot to build to an acceptable standard. Candidate #2: old Revell F-4E that I got last year from eBay. Will be another post-Vietnam F-4D. Nose lenghtened by 5mm and Airfix short nose radome added. Like the one before, it still needs much to add to make a decent replica. Candidate #3: old Hasegawa F-4E that I got partly built last year. Joints sanded and then primed to see what I actually had in my hands. Intakes removed so that I could paint the insides (replacements luckily found in the spares box). Will be a Vietnam era F-4E. Candidate #4: Fujimi F-4E. Just wings and fuselage sides joined. Will be another Viernam era F-4E. A couple more picture of candidates #1 and #3, from time before the upper picture was taken: Please feel free to discard any or all the candidates if you consider them unfit for the GB. I have more Phantom kits, both started and unstarted, but I will concentrate on finishing the ones shown here before I start yet another one! I discovered this GB just a few days ago and thought it would be a big boost to help me finish the kits. Whatever your decision, I will be following the GB with great interest. Many thanks and all the best, Jorge. Edited May 28, 2011 by f4h1phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
