    Hello,David - Thank you so much.I must be a glutton for punishment because I love schemes like this.This was my second in a row so my current build is a much easier one! All The Best,Paul.

    Hello,Evert - Thank you very much.I can honestly say they are the best I’ve ever used and can wholeheartedly recommend them.They do have interesting subjects.In this case,for example, the gold bands on the nose needed quite a bit of manipulation,particularly over the gun fairing but there was no tearing or splitting and responded perfectly. All The Best,Paul.

    ‘JASDF ANNIVERSARY PHANTOM’

    Hello,Gary - Thank you ever so much,my friend.All things considered this build went from start to finish without any issues whatsoever.Unlike the previous Transatlantic Anniversary Scheme Phantom. This build was also the very first time that I’d airbrushed acrylic paint.( Cobalt Blue -Mr.Hobby Aqueous).Again,no issues whatsoever.The quality and ease of use of the DXM Decals I cannot praise highly enough and they performed impeccably with MicroSol only.After airbrushing the Cobalt Blue, the subsequent coats of ‘Klear/Pledge’ were brush-applied,nothing more. I fell in love with scheme as soon as I saw a photo of the real aircraft.Yes,it’s blingy but certainly an eye-catcher. Will phone you shortly.It will be great to have a natter and catch up,before Christmas! As Always, Paul.

    Hello,29 Triplex - Thank you ever so much.Yes indeed,these decals are by DXM and an absolute joy to work with.I couldn’t find any issue with them whatsoever.Their quality made this scheme doable. All The Best,Paul.

    Hello and thank you both very much, gentlemen.The JASDF isn’t backward at coming forward with decorative schemes.My next Phantom build will be a Michigan ANG aircraft with nose-art.All the very best,Paul.

    Hello,Friends - Many thanks to each and every one of you for your very kind replies.They’re much appreciated and respected.I don’t know where the introduction to this build went but I’ll just say this was the first build that I’ve airbrushed with acrylic paint.I used Mr.Hobby Aqeous.The colour is Cobalt Blue.I brush-applied ‘Klear/Pledge’ floor polish overall before and after decalling.I wholeheartedly recommend the quality of DXM decals.They were faultless to work with and responded well to Microsol.I used ‘XTreme Metal’ on the NMF areas. All The Very Best,Paul.

    Hello,Jaime - She gave you a phright in the early stages but what a magnificent result.Great precision and eye for detail are your hallmarks and are amply evident here.Great finishing work and restrained but effective weathering make her a beautiful model and tribute to the type. All The Very Best,Paul.

All The Very Best,Paul.
