McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1, Industrial Group "Mir" (Minsk) 1/72


Recommended Posts

Just brilliant, even though the kit has those off shapes and proportions it still looks fantastic and is still an F-4, congrats on a great build and superb finish B)B)B)

I'll echo the ". . . who needs the new Airfix offering?" comment :think::think:

Still looks like a Phantom to me, regardless of any shape issues the kit likely has.

Love the slightly weathered look and the nose-up stance (a pre-takeoff feature on UK Phantoms if I understand correctly?).

Excellent build and a testament to your skills.

:goodjob:

How did you do in the contest?

The model took the first place in the "Out of the box nomination". :thumbsup: 

 

But the main goal was to show and prove (to myself mainly) that you get a presentable model just by neatly assembling and painting. Of course it's not the most accurate model, but it's an assembled model for sure.

Yes, it's a pre-takeoff gear position, you absolutely right!

Very, very nice.

 

I think I threw this kit together many years ago on a Saturday afternoon after buying it in Woolworth's that morning.

 

Suffice to say that the finish fell WELL below (several kilometres)  the quality you have achieved.. :)
