Hi everyone,  Thanks so much for the kind words.   This is my first post here although I have been a member for a year or so.   I normally post on LSP but since I have many British Customers and made many British Friends, ...... not to mention I love Hannants I thought I would post my start posting builds here.  This F-4C first completion in 3 years.   I am planning on building more and making less resin so I may have a another build or two to share next year.    Have an F-105G, F-4B, and F-4G all planned for 2017 in 1/32 scale.

 

Thanks again for the kind remarks.

 

Gary, GT Resin

A splendid looking Spook, finished perfectly.  Your additions really bring it to life - it feels like you could almost jump in the cockpit and take her on a mission!

 

Really good work and a great inspiration for the 2 that I have in the stash.
