Procopius Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Great build, is that a lightning I can see? Yes, and it's a sordid story: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234970388-i-really-should-have-feared-this-group-buld-172-lightning-f3-sword-and-f6-airfix/ Great! Amazing result Sir! Such top job needs a great presentation ( or a display) just like a gorgeous lady needs a a gorgeous evening dress! Very kind of you to say, but my (beautiful) wife refuses to change out of yoga pants on date night, and I suppose this is much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeELL Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Well I was was a phantom driver on 29 Sqn just as the 'Air Defence grey' scheme was introduced. I am impressed by your model and am actively looking for such a model to build myself. 'Triplex' of course.

Fritag Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Very nice procopius. You know you're doing it right if Duncan says you've captured the dirty look and an F4 driver's impressed as well FWIW I love the dirty wings too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeELL Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 One thing I would like to say is that even front line aircraft did not end up as 'shabby' as the modellers interpretation suggests. Sure, they were never pristine, unless out of 'major', but equally they received regular washes. The washes reduced the likelyhood of corrosion and maintained a semblance of 'military order'. I was always conscious of the condition of any aircraft I took to air shows. Indeed, it was the norm to have aircraft prepped for airshows ( of course this aircraft would go U/S on the day!). So all I would say is, don't go too far with the weathering, these were, after all, essentially peacetime aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 If you are like me, artistic license trumps all facts regarding perceived cleanliness and dirtyness. I think this is an inspiring build and the fact you have it done and posted is something to celebrate. I am thankful there are so many talented and motivated modellers online sharing their work, when there are days I find it difficult to even head in the general direction of my work bench. Call it living vicariously. So thank you for posting this gorgeous Phantom, yoga pants are a gift of their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Nice work, Edward! Very well done! The Fujimi kits are little gems, that is for sure. I've not been able to find any seamless intake trunking for the kit though. To me, that's the only thing about the kit that needs to be rectified. Anyone know of any? Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeELL Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Whilst I would love to tell all about phlying the Phantom, I would get a 'red card' as it is not appropriate to this thread. After all, this is a ready for inspection model thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
