After about 20 years away from kit-building, and a few years of getting back into it, I think it's time to actually post something, rather than just lurking. I've recently completed an old Airfix Vulcan (the XH558 boxing, which my nephew got me for Christmas), followed by a quick Airfix Gladiator to cleanse my palette, and now for some American iron (by way of Czechia by way of Korea)... I've had this in my stash since I first started getting back into building models, but now that I've built up some experience of using resin and photo-etch, I feel I'm ready to tackle it...

Hallo I would like to show you my F-4 C from ZM work in progress. Just to mention, all my pictures you may see I took by my old Samsung batched and renamed by IrfanView and I put them on Flickr by an alias name. I intend to take you all with me, so I do show you also the tools and materials I work with. If there are choices, I will let you know my arguments. My decision. The kit, why from ZM. Why ZM, is quite easy. First of all I got to know the first models from them in Japan. I was thrilled. I built the Ta-152, the J7W1 Shinden, the P-51 and the J2M3 Raiden. At the Raiden I was confronted with some design flaws, I discussed them with ZM and they reacted and made all correct now. With some error log on their website, they are always improving. They are really awesome. At the P-51 the same thing, and they reacted well. So far, ZM is company who really makes models for modeler. Business is the second. The last Phantom I build s 40 years ago. No comment. I have to build the C, D, and S. The E will come soon from ZM too. I generally use for paint the Gunze C colors from Mr. Hobby. Why? Because it dries fast. Not as the H colors I used first, here you may wait 24 hours to touch a sprayed surface. With C colors, I can touch them at 30 minutes for sure! Therefore, I can build 6 hours straight ahead without major time breaks. The aircraft I want to build is any one of my extra decal sheet. The ordinance I want to build is as shown on picture 29, 30, 33: Station 1 and9 : MER with Mk.82 Station 2 and 8: TER with Mk.82 and two AIM-9 Station 5: MER with Mk. 82 Station 3,4,6 and 7 with AIM-7. To accomplish this I have an aftermarket resin set. Picture 17, 18 and 19. This set causes me some headache because of the centerline and outboard pylon. For the centerline and outboard pylon, I need photos, as attached. Until now I built straight from the box. I have etched parts, but I preferred to paint the Cockpit. Just to Close the Cockpit during WIP. Next time more. Happy modelling
