Rhino Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Hi All At Telford this year I had the idea of doing some themed builds. The first theme I could come up with was doing some blue Phantoms. These are the ones I have built so far. There are more that could be done, like a Blue Angels F-4J and some Japanese models, but these will do for now. I have a couple of overall shots first. The first one is the 92 Squadron blue aircraft from 1991. This aircraft is now resident at the Tangmere museum. The second one is Vandy 6, an F-4J from VX-4 in an experimental colour scheme. The next one is the F-4S in the 75th anniversary markings of the US Naval Aviation, known as Vandy 75, also from VX-4 Next is the FGR.2 from 19 Squadron. This is the airframe that was donated to the Czech Air Force and is in a museum there. Finally is the F-4F from JG-71 which celebrated the 50th anniversary ofthe Phantom, and the 35th Anniversary of the F-4F. I hope you enjoy the pictures, and thank you for looking.

Skybert Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Ted, you're doing a group build all by yourselves! How about that, a group build of group builds :-) No seriously, a original collection, and nicely built.. vandy 75 is my longtime favorite, resembling the colour of late war hellcats and corsairs..

Ossian Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Lovely stuff! I don't normally go for jets, but will make an exception for the F4 (among a few others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MASH4077 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Nice collection, an observation though when the 19 and 92 Squadron jets turned up at a photocall I attended they were both the same shade of blue , I don`t know if more than one jet per unit was painted blue but on that day they were both the same blue.

Rhino Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hi All Thanks for the comments Nice collection, an observation though when the 19 and 92 Squadron jets turned up at a photocall I attended they were both the same shade of blue , I don`t know if more than one jet per unit was painted blue but on that day they were both the same blue. Tony Tony. I do agree that seeing them at the same time they were the same shade of blue, and my original plan was to go with that. Looking through photos I took, and elsewhere, it seemed the 92 Squadron aircraft did weather down to a lighter colour, so I decided to add a bit of interest by using a slightly lighter shade, and saying that the 19 Squadron frame was fresh, and the 92 Squadron bird about a year later. I hope you don't mind me doing that. Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
