corsaircorp Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hello Dears This is not really a WiP since both the 2 ladies has been started 2 years ago ! The Rhino has appeared in some other threads and she is about to enter the paint booth ! Now this kit has a story behind it ! A friend of mine offer that Phantom as a thanking gift ! I was on patrol with my van on a highway, I still was in the access and saw a motorcycle speeding away. A few yards further I saw a car stopped on the left lane (We are on the continent !!) Then I saw the biker a good 50 yards ahead of the car, lying on the ground but did'nt see the motorcycle ! Cursing a lot, I call on the Ambulance and Highway patrol, as we are trained for urgent help, I go to see if I can help the biker. Lord, His leg was in such a poor state, but he looked almost good. But with the integral helmet I did'nt recognize him, My van was placed in protection, I looked at the wound, reporting it to the ambulance by the cell phone The biker then wake up, or retake conscience, and call me by my name… That's a schock Believe me !! It was my friend, I refused to get the helmet out, not knowing if he have a wound to the head… And I stay beside him until he was transported in the ambulance. After his recovery, he asked casually about my next buy of kit and I received it ! The only weird thing is that he told me that, When he opened his eyes, feeling that someone was taking care of him, I looked to him like an angel !!! Me ??? An angel ?? With my face ?? Incredible and … Yes… Weird ! Don't you worry about Thierry, he was still Walking with crutch when he did buy another bike !! Oh and we found the bike a good 100 yards ahead of the crash point, jammed Under the barriers !! Now back to the model ! I included a complete Aires interior, it has been deemed impossible by a French model magazine, So... I did it, but it's not easy a task, Believe me ! But it look far better ! Be carefull ! Aires gave us 2 types of interior, one can do a B or J Phantom The Wheel well must be re-created And of course !! It will be a Jolly Rogers one ! I must confess that I have in my stash each and any aircraft flown by the 'Blackburn's irregulars" So this one will not be too surprising ??? Huh ??? Load of job and the doc are precious, especially for the Air intakes 🤔 Who was talking about that 😩 plaster looking Tamiya white paint ??? Ok, I'll be back soon, I go to prepare the meal, pretty simple today !! some Cordon bleu with belgian fries ! HP saus for me !! Have a great modelling time ! Sincerely.

jean Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hi CC, They are called French fries.... Meet you at dawn tomorrow. Gee, what happened with the white sauce all over the air brakes? Does not look too healthy, but even a Demon should be partial to sand paper! Great duo you are working on. Some of my favorite USN planes! It is going to be good! Have fun!

Sturmovik Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Looks like the white paint was too thinned. Another coat will solve that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 While I'm no huge fan of US Navy subjects a Phantom never fails to find my attention and the Demon is unusual enough to warrant some as well I'd no idea AZ made a 48th scale kit of the latter; are the resin goodies part of the kit or seperate aftermarket parts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But finally, this long aged neighbours dispute has been closed by a TV show done by both the RTBF and FR2 The fries are born in Eastern France, near the Luxemburg and German border ! So let's say French fries !

Hello Col, Yes, this is in fact the Grand Phoenix kit Under another boxing ! There are surely been some resin parts mish mash, the way it is with the Firefly Mk I Some resin parts are missing in one or the other !!🤔 In the 2 cases I've got the 2 kits, so, they both have a full resin complement. If one of you Guys are missing a resin parts on these kits Do not hesitate, if I can help !

Christer A Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Both a Demon and a Phantom att the same time? You know how to live a proper life CC! I see that you managed to fit the Aires 'pit, that's quite the accomplishment. When I did my F-4C with Aires the less than stellar appearance of the cockpit sill forced the entire thing into the cupboard of Doom. I should retrieve it any Day... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Ahaaa !! Mister G is starting a Phantom.... Now, great time to counter my "Phantom curse" See you soon !! Sincerely. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Just a few words about my "Phantom curse" In 1987, I started a 1/48 Hasegawa F4-J, I spent a lot of time on the wing tip since I folded it... Okay, I was already a nutty modeller.... It was almost finished when it has been test flown accidentally.... From the second floor, crashing down, after having bounced from stair to stair.... I was paralysed.... I tried to see if it is possible to fix it but to no avail... Then I bought that same kit in a modeller convention.... And someone found it tasty.... Now you know why I no longer let a kit behind me... even if so called friends are watching the stand.... That's why, I dread to finish this one... Well.... Modelling now, it's about time !! See you later !! CC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Well Still, I'm working on ordnance... As I told it previously, it will be displayed in Long Range strike Configuration.... More to come soon !! Stay safe Gents !! CC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC The F-86 is currently in repair depot after losing a battle with Catzilla. It has a broken off drop tank and a badly cracked canopy with one of the poor ground crew losing both arms an a foot! The other guy is hard at work though. The Follow Me Jeep faired worse though with almost total destruction and the driver decapitated. I really need to fix them some day. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
