Skyhunter66 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 The second of this years finished Phantoms and this one is from Eduards Good Morning Da Nang kits. This one is VF111 'Sundowners' from the USS Coral Sea March 1972. These kits from Eduard are great - with all the aftermarket you need and a great range of options as regards schemes. I bought this for £39 at the time! Back in the day when I was collecting die cast I had the Corgi version of this machine but I never thought it did it justice and always planned to try and do a version in 1:48 The decals are great although as with any phantom the stencils are tedious! Paints are Mr Color and Alclad for the metal parts. It is number 6 of 6 F4's I have built and I have two more to do at some point 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskey Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Beautiful job! There's so many wonderful color schemes for a VF-111 F-4 and I love how you've managed to do a fantastic job depicting their MiG killer. Very nice. Keep up the good work!

Skyhunter66 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Many thanks for your comments and yes the stencils can be off putting and I hate doing them! I have to be in the right frame of mind to do them and even then I do section by section cheers chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
