Recommended Posts

Hi gang - well here's the first shots. I cant seem to get the lighting "just right" with this model. Ho hum :)

The build is here...

Beautiful job sir! I haven't decided whether to do the kit scheme or use some old AeroMaster decals for the CAG bird from VF-11 Red Rippers in 1973 off the Forrestal. But the kit sure looks worthy for either!

Again, well done!

My respect Sir, a very good Phantom model and this wears my favorite sqn. markings. Any problems with the fit? I got one in stock, but I'm not sure if I start to build it. Udo.

One small thing Jon, you may have forgotten to add the catapult bridle hooks. I can see the holes in those recesses, but it looks like the hooks are missing...Easy enough to add them as long you haven't thrown the sprues away...

Hi Jeffrey - Oops - I have the sprues still, so easy to remedy. Not much point having a salt water beast, if it cant get its feet wet is there!!

Cheers, and well spotted ( plus I realised I need to add the cockpit ladder steps too- Doh!)
