welcome aboard Stu, I was wondering where you'd gotten to, but you can be forgiven for being late for bring another Phantom to the build.

 

That looks a nice model and seeing a Phantom in one of it's final schemes would be nice.

 

Well good luck with the build and look forward to seeing her in the gallery.

I’m currently without a bench so limited to the 3 that are currently on what’s passing as temporary desk. Also I have not one but two airfix phantoms awaiting decals which I’m dreading. Should be able to start it once the new bench is up and running in a week or so.

Apologies for the lack of updates but this one is set for a long term pause, was using the canopy from a previous build but the slim centre section broke, so this will go away into storage till either a spare is forthcoming either from the purchase of another kit or the Taurus vacuform is available again

don't the Hasagawa kits come with both a single piece as well as the open parts for a canopy? Can you use a razor saw on the single piece to open?

 

Bad luck by the way.

Yep, had terrible luck with canopies recently, time to move on to something else, thread should be moved in the GB forum later....

 

Stu , try some armour modelling fella, no canopies to break :D

go with BOMAN's hyperlink - but I have a spare set of instructions that I can post to you over weekend if required?

(like you I've just picked up that version from Hasagawa (VFA-27 Maces high viz) from Evilbay as well. - I've also got the Quickboost ECS pipes to replace the early type ECS vents molded in the earlier Hasagawa Super Hornet kits)

 

(I'll go thru the stash and see if I can't find you a spare F-4 canopy (closed) that I can't send your way as well)

 

drop us a PM if interested

oh ok, so the tails are meant to be completely black? I don't know the colour scheme you've chosen.

They are black and yellow (its a vfa27 scheme), but that is provided by the decals. Had some issues with the canopy though should be done later, meantime the exhausts are on and the steel area painted
