Academy 1/48 McDonnell Douglas F-4N Phantom II


Recommended Posts

This is the final of four 1/48 Phantoms I built concurrently: Academy's F-4N in the kit markings. Yes, you read that right: Academy got it wrong and it's an F-4N, not the F-4B they mis-marketed it as. Aftermarket is Quickboost resin seats and Hypersonic resin tailplanes and AC intakes. Finish is Mr Color varnished with GX100 polished out with Micromesh. More words and pictures at https://jonbryon.com/academy-1-48-mcdonnell-douglas-f-4n-phantom-ii/

 

Comments welcome and thanks for looking.

Whoo boy! It's big; it's a Phantom, and it's a Sundowners' Rhino- the trifecta! Looks like she just got out of the paint shop, too! Very nice build- now, if they will just do the 1/72 ones they have been teasing us with for the longest time...

Beautiful work Jon

I'm building the J at the moment and finding it a thoroughly enjoyable build.  Fantastic to see another addition on your website as well.  I must say though, -and I know you don't usually add pylons and stores - the phantom looks really naked without at least a centreline tank.  Although that is how most of them seem to be configued in the photos of them on ramps.

 

EDIT   Just read your article and now realise why you did not add the pylons.  I managed to screw up my tailplanes in exactly the same way.  That casting block is a real buggar to remove, isnt it

 

Cheers

I'm glad it's not just me!

 

I wish I had been able to add the pylons :(
