DaveJL Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hello all, Here is my recently finished Eduard (Academy) F-4B Phantom, in the markings of VMFA-542 'Bengals', Da Nang, 1965. Built for the Vietnam GB, the build thread is here Along with the Eduard refinements of etch and resin, I added Quickboost FOD covers, Hypersonic Martin Baker MK5 ejection seats, and True Details MK77 Napalm canisters. The MK82's are Hasegawa as the kit ones appear misshapen and have odd looking fuses. The twin shot Zuni rockets are from a Hasegawa Crusader and the AIM-7's are from the kit. Marine CAS, 1965 and 2005: Thanks for looking. Dave 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feifeitim Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 That is one Pnantastic Phantom Dave! Awesome work! I regularly fly in and out of Da Nang and get a thrill each time I make the approach into the airfield. I try to imagine the rows of aircraft in the revetments that are still there or under the shelters that now hold derelict Mig-21s. It's a great place to visit and your model, like many of the others that are coming from the group build, is a wonderful testament to the courage of the aviators who flew from this great airfield.
