Breaker Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 This is the Hasewaga boxing, built OOB. Decals are for a FGR1 and the model is built as an FGR2 - Oops! My first 'properly' completed model, in as much I've tried lots of differing techniques, mottling, preshading, a wash and matt coat. Stuff I've learnt is that with Flory Wash you have to make sure you've cleaned up all the residue! Spot the matt coated residue! It's missing it's wheel as I ordered some resin replacements from Hannants on the 22nd of March but they've yet to turn up! As I don't know when they'll arrive, I'm calling it finished. Painted with Mr Hobby acrylics and Alclad metals and clear coats. I would of liked to of stuck 4 x AIM-9s on but I don't have 4 in the stash the same. And finally on the shelf. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza l Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Very nicely made and weathered. Don't worry about the decals, I've never completed a model that is 100% accurate. gazza l 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tashengurt Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I had a trip in that Phantom in Cyprus in '88! Nice to see it in model form. I got the Hasegawa kit hoping to do it myself but to date I haven't managed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
