Hope you can excuse me posting before the rules appear. I'm very keen to put my marker down.

This one will be built here. According to Scalemates, this is a 1992 release kit.

Cost me 8.00 pounds at Thornbury show in 2014.

Planning to build OOB using the Lizard scheme option.

Hasegawa F-4E - this is VERY similar to my built.

Another Hasegawa F-4B - built from a box of spares, without instructions.

I think this is an earlier generation Hasegawa kit.

Remember that first Airfix model - well I refurbed it whilst painting the RF-4C and F-4G - as Olds01.

With a thunderous roar of General Electric J79s we're off.

Stayed up late watching Totally British Rock & Roll on BBC4 - followed by The Old Grey Whistle Test, Solid Gold.

Total Treasure!

Cockpit is primative but functional.

One thing I didn't spot with previous Hasegawa Phantoms is the Nav has charts on his lap. Introducing ClipboardMan.

If this was cricket, you'd be our fast bowler attack. Once this one is done you'll probably have time for another. Looking forward to seeing that scheme you've picked out.

Phantom Strike!

This is the phinal Phantom in my stash.

There are others I'd like to buy and build - but keep getting outbid on Ebay.

I've got the ejection triangles on. A bit fragile so anothe coat of Klear applied.

cool - what paints you use?

Is the nose black on your Subject?

Well so far Humbrol 117 Green,

Humbrol 163 Dark Green, and

Humbrol 125 Grey.

Plans say the nose is black - but I'm going to peruse the web for photos.

I'll let you know.
