This month's phixation is the F-4 Phantom. This is the Fujimi F-4N kit in a very colourful set of US Navy markings for VF-111 Sundowners. Fujimi F-4s are always a delight to build and although this one is not as nicely detailed as their British Phantoms, it was still a lot of fun. My decals were a bit iffy, with several disintegrating as they hit water. Next up - another Fujimi F-4, this time an FGR.2 of 111 Sqn at RAF Leuchars (see what I've done there!) which should finish next week

The second of this years finished Phantoms and this one is from Eduards Good Morning Da Nang kits. This one is VF111 'Sundowners' from the USS Coral Sea March 1972. These kits from Eduard are great - with all the aftermarket you need and a great range of options as regards schemes. I bought this for £39 at the time! Back in the day when I was collecting die cast I had the Corgi version of this machine but I never thought it did it justice and always planned to try and do a version in 1:48 The decals are great although as with any phantom the stencils are tedious! Paints are Mr Color and Alclad for the metal parts. It is number 6 of 6 F4's I have built and I have two more to do at some point- 16 replies
