  1. I've started one as well, as you say its challenging to get it to fit correctly. Good job though, hope mine looks as good. 👍
  2. Good job and something that's not often seen. I like it 👌
  3. Thats an excellent finish on the kit, superb. What paints did you use?
  4. Great build which brings back some memories. From my Cadet Form 3822, I had a 30 minute flight in this aircraft on 26/01/1985.
  5. Here's my latest RAF Phantom using the Italeri 1/72 FG1 kit. XT870 / BS of 111 Squadron at RAF Leuchars circa 1987. Painted using Xtracolor enamels and finished with Humbrol Satin Cote. Decals were kit decals and a few others from my stash. Decided to try the Flightpath ladders and warning flags with the Quickboost AOA cover added to add a bit more detail, fairly happy with how it turned out. Struggling with the fine detail as I canna see anything close up but don't want to move away from 1/72 so it will have to do. Photographs taken on a new tablet and they came out a bit dark but they'll also do. Now onto the 92 Sqn jet.....
  6. Thanks, I've found a few more pictures so will add a few more (and lighten the MSG on the inner wing).
  7. Thank, think this answers my question, cheers.
  8. A question for all the RAF Phantom experts out there, especially for the F-4J's that the RAF had. Did they come with the over wing stencils and walkway markings as per the RAF FG1 and FGR2 Phantom's? I built the ESCI 1/72 F-4J last year but the aircraft was a bit bereft of stencils/decals unlike the other RAF Phantoms and it doesn't look right. I can't get a good reference picture of the aircraft to definitely say yes or no. Were they pretty clean as they came from the US or do I need to fit some after market decals to finish it off? Thanks in advance.
  9. Here is my 1/72 Italeri Lockheed Hercules C5, ZH883 of 47 Sqn, RAF Brize Norton from 2016. Built OOB using the Xtracolor decals set for the '50 Years' of Hercules operations. The only whitling that was done was moving the position of the prop blades to the feathered position as they would be normally on the ground, from the fined in flight position for flight as they are in the kit. Painted with Xtracolor enamels, mainly NATO Green with some white and blacks added to try and get the change in shades that are evident on the real aircraft. Maybe not an exact match but I don't think it's come out too bad. It's a large model so doesn't fit into the cabinet 🙄, didn't realise that the wing span was so large. Photo's not great as were taken on my iPhone.
  10. Fantastic finish on a fantastic looking model 👏👏👏👏👏👏
  11. Ok, as somehow the topic has been uploaded twice, how do I delete one of them?
