TimT Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 That's a very handsome build. The photos give it a sense of scale beyond its size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin M Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Very impressed. Great photos too. What manufacturer of paint did you use for the overall top side colour? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What manufacturer of paint did you use for the overall top side colour? Hi Justin. As I'm new reverting back to aircraft modelling, I went with what is used before... humbrol enamel. Colour is 123 satin. Seemed to go on ok but needed several coats through the airbrush to get the coverage I was after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Slight upset last night when taking some more photos ... lamp nosedived onto model. Most repairs undertaken but some still in hand. It happens! Post over on the WIP thread. Oh well J 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Superb. That really is a treat for the eyes. Beautiful detailing and first class photography, very well done indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 As mentioned, I was photographing the model when one of the small lamps took a topple and landed on top of the nose of the aircraft; repairs are in hand... as and when time will dictate I'll get the mirrors in the front canopy re soldered to a new frame, painted and re-inserted, and i've abandoned the rocket pods for the time being; the Brassin TERs are now more visible. But, before it all went wrong, here's one of the photos I snapped (or rather about 5 manually stacked to present the needed depth of field... presented in a way I liked after some experimentation. Look - red ladder. Homage to XT864 by Jonathan Hughes, on Flickr Jonathan ... and thanks for all of your kind comments 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Incredible build of a beautiful plane! The magazine reviews haven't always been kind, but this shows it can result in an excellent model, in the right hands. Awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJP Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Got myself an Airfix Phantom and if it turns out half as good as yours I will be happy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 A beautiful build. I especially like the weapons load. Have never seen a Phantom II model with that particular load out. Sets your model apart wonderfully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worms Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Yep, simply fabulous! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Thanks all for your comments... it's nice to see some come to this after it's been dormant for a while, especially when you're so kind about my feeble attempts. SAT69, the load was modelled on a shot in one of my phantom books of 007 leaping off the deck in this config - the grey single tank and twin rocket pods on each TER.... and I quite liked it. I think the 'toom looks a lot sleeker when devoid of wing tanks. I appreciate its a slightly different config to most of those modelled... but its shows just how many variations can be achieved with just a few options presented. Thanks again,.
