lazyeagle 147 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Second attempt at owning a 1/32 Tamiya F-4C Phantom. The first met an untimely demise…. This one I managed to dislodge the open canopies whilst taking these shots. A bit of a dusty layer on the Rhino…can’t imagine why as I’ve always got fluffy dusters handy….OOB, gunze paints, mig pigments, pastels. Next one will be the 1/32 F-4E Early Version…..maybe as Arkansas Traveller or Steve Ritchie version... 21 Link to post Share on other sites

Parabat 1,655 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Superb Phantom, I think that is pretty much the epitome of a Vietnam era Phantom. Very nice finish and I like the load-out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Booty003 2,835 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Phantastic Phantom Sanjay, a great subject too. I'm a big fan of Robin Olds and I have the die cast Hobbymaster 1/72 F-4 of his. 1/32 must be a hell of a size - what dimensions is she? I'm committed to 1/72 but sometimes do get tempted by the larger scales. I have been eyeing up the Academy 1/48 F-4C...... Great build. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Spitfire31 2,429 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 A great feat of modelling! She has just that air of heaviness, power and menace that I associate with the Phantom. Well done indeed. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lazyeagle 147 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Thanks everyone for their kind comments. The Tamiya kit is a relatively easy build and me being a big Phantom Phan I just had to get a couple. Didn't realise I had the 'Chico the Gunfighter' 1/32 decals so maybe that will adorn an F-4E? Again it's all about time and the need to sleep once in awhile.. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Robin Olds he was the last of the 6 gunfighting cowboys......He was larger than life and I'm pretty sure he loved the smell of burnt cordite from his Vulcan M61 in the morning. The Tamiya kit is big enough...but not as big as an 1/18th scale F-14 Tomcat so to me 1/72 needs an electron microscope. Have to admit 1/72 is a little more challenging than the larger scales for me.. Link to post Share on other sites

bentwaters81tfw 6,951 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Very nice. Robin Olds commanded the 81st at Bentwaters before he went to 'nam. That airframe cycled through here after Vietnam. Then he got it back when he ran the Air Force academy. The original is on display at the AF Museum, and he insisted it was displayed 'as is' and not restored to pristine finish. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
