Hi Paul. As I thought; I knew it would be a good idea to help you get your Flickr issues sorted! What impressive looking Phantoms.Β :worthy:

Looking forward to seeing more of your builds.

Kind regards,

Stix

Beautiful Β models of great subjects, Paul.Β :clap2:

They look rather "flat", though and might look better with a satin varnish? (Just my humble opinion! );)

Hello,Alpha Delta 210 - Many thanks for your very kind and much appreciated reply. To be honest, they were finished with the lightest coat of satin varnish in order to cut the risk of 'yellowing' their markings,etc.Maybe I was too over cautious.

πŸ˜‰πŸ‘ All the very best,Paul.

Hello Paul

Good to see a couple of your builds back on the forum and two smashing schemes to start your Flickr days rolling. The Allcock and Brown scheme is always an eye catcher and your rendition is superb, did you use all the kit decals or were some of the markings sprayed on, either way you are right on the money.

Cheers

Hello,Gary - Many thanks for your very kind and much appreciated reply.Yes indeed,it's great to be able to post photos again.Instead of Photobucket,I now use Flickr via my iPad.(Thanks once again to PlastixπŸ‘).

Β I also really love the 'A&B' Scheme.It looks so elegant.This is the subject of my current build but this time in 1/48 scale.

Regarding this 1/72 version,I'm sure the Decals were by Modeldecal.They definitely weren't kit issue.They worked well in the main,but I 'joined a few dots' on the wing and stabilator outer surfaces with delicate brushwork prior to final varnish coat.

Decalling is a stage I really love but the 1/48 option is by 'CAM' Decals.They are beautifully printed but notoriously tricky to work with.They have a mind of their own when it comes to settling down and require fairly 'industrial strength' Setting Solution to behave.I've succeeded with the Wing Tanks and 'fingers-crossed' for the rest😳

Β πŸ˜‰πŸ‘ All the very best,Paul.

Hi Paul

NiceΒ builds, looks like the decalΒ solution you bought on Sunday worked.

Also looks like you've been working overtime on the kits.

Cheers

Hello,Ian - Many thanks for your very kind and much appreciated reply.It was good to see you at Driffield Show last Sunday.To be honest,I built this pair a long time ago.

Β The Decals that I bought the solution for are for my current build, this time in 1/48 scale.Here's an update photo after having tried the Daco Products solution.The Decals are by 'CAM' and as far as I'm aware the only show in town.Although claimed to be compatible with MicroSol/Set I found they wouldn't touch them.Daco is more 'industrial strength' and seem to have done the trick."Fingers-Crossed" for the rest of the sheet! πŸ˜‰πŸ‘All the very best,Paul.

Hello,Steve - Many thanks for your very kind and much appreciated reply.I hope the 1/48 'A&B' Scheme turns out okay but the Decals are fighting me all the way.

"Phingers-Crossed!!" πŸ˜‰πŸ‘ All the very best,My Friend.

Paul.

Looking really good - whats not to like?! My build of this kit has stalled as I can't find a set of launch rails for the sidewinders in 1/72 - the boxing i have didn't come with them πŸ˜•

Hello,Friends - Many thanks for your very kind and much appreciated replies.

General Jumbo ( fond comic recollections with your Callsign πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘) I'm sorry your build has stalled.May I ask which kit you have and version you're building?

πŸ˜‰πŸ‘ All the very best,Paul.

Hi Paul,

great to see these beauties back in the forum! Hope your 1/48 build goes straight forward and there will be no issues with the decals. I moved my pics to Imgur. Find it a lot easier and faster than Photobucket. Only hope they wonΒ΄t follow the Photobucket foodsteps!Β  Have already edited some of my older posts and hope to be back with something new very soon.

Have a nice weekend

Hi Paul. Its the 1/72nd Fujimi RIAT scheme boxing (although I am finishing it in the early 43sqn camo scheme). Its probably about 97% finished and has been like that for a while sadly. Need to finish off the by putting the stores on but no pylons for the AIM-9s unfortunately. I'm not skilled enough to scratch build them either!
