Albeback52 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Congratulations on a beautiful job . One of these days I might even get hold of one of these kits but, I just refuse to pay the silly prices they currently fetch second hand ! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady72 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 It's real, I'll be coming back to look at this one again and again. The only thing missing is the tiny steel cap on the very nose of the radome, a wee dab of silver paint would sort that. I've still got the Airdoc decals if you fancy making a grey air defence one sometime. (I did notice the FG1's slotted stab though) Did the Aires cockpit and exhausts go in ok? I've got them for when I finally do my Toom. DB Cockpit fit very well, however exhausts are to small, I mean diameter. I have to glue around them thin plastic sheet to increase diameter. Thank you for all comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobinsonh Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Stunning build. Just wish Tamiya would do a 1/32nd version particularly as some of the most diverse paint work and colour full finishes where on the British Phantoms. Did you do a WIP thread for this build?

pacificmustang Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 oh my god, you've done it again Artur, another stunning build. Have you used the salt chipping technique on the grey? Regards Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Cockpit fit very well, however exhausts are to small, I mean diameter. I have to glue around them thin plastic sheet to increase diameter.. I'll keep that in mind when I do my one, maybe not use the exhausts (or even better, send it all over to you to do for me ). You got the colours of the heat shields spot on in my opinion, something that quite often let's down builds of the Phantom I think. I can't stop looking at the model, it's as good a Toom as I've ever seen. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady72 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Stunning build. Just wish Tamiya would do a 1/32nd version particularly as some of the most diverse paint work and colour full finishes where on the British Phantoms. Did you do a WIP thread for this build? Yes, here is all build thread: http://www.scalefun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=667 oh my god, you've done it again Artur, another stunning build. Have you used the salt chipping technique on the grey? Regards Bruce Hi, Bruce, yes I used wet salt technique to achieve some chipping effects. I'll keep that in mind when I do my one, maybe not use the exhausts (or even better, send it all over to you to do for me ). You got the colours of the heat shields spot on in my opinion, something that quite often let's down builds of the Phantom I think. I can't stop looking at the model, it's as good a Toom as I've ever seen. DB For my next grey FGR.2 I will not use Aires exhausts. Plastic ones are not so bad and with them you can get open auxilary air intakes on the sides of hull. With Aires exhausts I needed to keep them closed because the bays have to be removed to make enough space for resin pipes. Thanks for all comments again guys.
