Well it goes to show Bex.

It's not the model, but the modeller who brings out the best of a bad kit.

Most kind of you Darth Daz :worthy:

The pod is called an EMI pod, used only by 2Sqn & 41Sqn only ---> Bottom of Page FGR2

This one will be in 31 Sqn markings, and thank you for the kind comment :thumbsup2:

Thanks Al :thumbsup2: Ive learnt an awful lot with this one, so much so, I bought another resin office :yahoo: The only thing that lets her down is the intakes, I thought Id sanded them down enough but I hadnt :( Other than that, shes turned out alot better than I expect :yahoo:

Youre most welcome :thumbsup2:

A small update then with a few more photys :yahoo: Ive been busy decalling her up, although the wing shot you cant really see that much, Ive been adding the very small "No Step" "No Push" etc decals, and on the nose, I had a spare Sharks Mouth so I thought Id add it too :yahoo:

Thanks for looking

Looking good Bex, the sharkmouth suits it perfectly :thumbsup:

I've got a 1/72 RF-4E in the stash (thanks Mish :)), and this is the inspiration I need to crack on with it once me bomber project is done and dusted!

Looking forward to seeing her finished :D

Thanks both :thumbsup2:

Seamus, that Revell RF-4E kit is a great kit, for 72nd I think its well detailed. Ive learnt a helluva alot since I built mine (Dec 06) and in hindsight I wish I still had it in the stash instead of on the ceiling, but for a second model after 20 odd yrs I like it :thumbsup2:

That sharkmouth makes it look as though it's a lounge lizard, asking "Heeey baaybee, you come here often? What your sign?" ;)

:rofl: I like it :thumbsup2:

Small update, Port wing decalled completely topside, started on Port fuselage & EMI Pod is completed.

Thanks for looking

Thats looks a quality build there Bex :thumbsup:

I have read its a nice kit, and it certainly looks the biz on the sprues :lol: My collection is missing a decent Phantom (sacrilege I know....) so I'm itching to get it started. That said, I've noticed on the next GB poll that the Phantom is doing quite well, so might wait to see what wins before building it..........if I can :wicked:

Keep up the good work on your build, she's almost there :thumbsup2:

Dear Bex: Your Phantom looks GREAT in the tiger paint..! :clap2: Why do I feel this urge to dig a Phantom out of the stash and a have a go w/it..? :beer:

Cheers,

I like that jazzy recon pod, too! I also think your Spey engined RF-4 is an interesting idea. I know you're not finished, however I just wanted to remind you to not forget the RHAW bumps on either side of the nose.

Hmmm, maybe I could've phrased that better, "RHAW bumps" sounds sort of icky. wicked.gif
