Habu12 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Using the F4Dable Models sheet, I depicted this jet on the last cat shot from the Midway, CV-41 in 1986. ZM kit right out of the box. Edited November 1, 2017 by Habu12 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geno Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Phabulous! Very convincing looking Phantom. I especially like these slats. Geno 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So parts are just added for no real reason. Like the forward end of the vertical stab. A separate piece wasn’t needed. Or the rings around the exhaust. Little things like that. Nothing major. Also, some steps are missing, like how to build it with slats retracted. Some of my refs show the onboard slats retracted, and it’s be up to me to figure out how to properly portray that. So it’s is a very nice 4-1/2 Star kit. Is it worlds better than the Academy? No. The Academy kit is almost just as nice. It’ll build up faster though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 That's a beauty. I hope ZM add the reinforcing plates to the F-4J kit if they re-issue it so we can make an F-4J (UK). Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like your Phantom build and photos - also your straight forward comparison of two Phantom kits above! CJP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Ooh I've gone weak at the knees looking at that Phantom, It is a real beauty! That toned down finish makes it look even more menacing. Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
