sandros Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) This a project that lasted quite more than i expected, because of many parallel builds. Finally it went through a few months ago and recently i managed to take some decent photos. I hope you like it!

polybebber Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Stunning build, I very much like the painting and weathering which make her look to be 48 scale Lothar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qn30jEkPz7 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Worth 2 likes - one for a splendid model and another for the custom model underside showing off jig Edited July 19, 2017 by LostCosmonauts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air-to-Air Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 A real pleasure reviewing your build. I very much liked the subtle panel colour alterations on the upper fuselage and wings, and the underside did not disappoint with some appropriately coloured and positioned oil streaking, and the colour variation to the rear fuselage heat shielding shows that you know a thing or two about Phantoms. Well done. 10 out of 10 for a 1/72 build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlo Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 When i see your model, i kinda start to have some simpaty for F-4. Normaly i don't like shape of it . Very nice ! Gj ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantome Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Amazing work! Nice touch in the dirt weathering on drop tanks, most of us don't bother (that's going to change after seeing this) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 VERY nice indeed ! By coincidence I photographed this very airplane when it diverted into Decimommanu while i was on APC with 17 squadron in 1972 ( or 73 ! ) It was joined by another F-4 the next day and departed soon after. can't remember what the issue was, but I was impressed with the cool colour scheme, and the aircrew were well looked after by us ! Unfortunately Photobucket will not allow posting pics unless you pay a ridiculous fee, so i can't post the pic, but if you want it just pm me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Absolutely superb and very inspiring! Loving the varied tones of the panels and markings. Don't have an F4 Phantom in my stash, but have often thought about it. Your excellent build makes me want to get one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Starfighter, I'm interested too in seeing your photo, currently buying 2 Jolly Rogers Phantoms. If you look at the forum, there is a trick to pick your photos back up. And doing what a lot of guys have done.. I use Flickr for the while at least. Sincerely. Corsaircorp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 That's great. A beautiful finish and one of my favourite USN schemes. The Phantom always looks like it means business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdonnell Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hello,Sandros - Welcome to the Forum. What a welcome sight this magnificent looking 'Phantom' makes. I love the quality and detail of the painting and finishing work and commend the weathering which portrays a busy jet that's working had for her living.Phine work indeed. 😉👍 All the best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
