Popular Post Farmerboy Posted December 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2019 .....the RED ARROWS would have had the phantom as there display aircraft, imaging the noise as they tore across the sky in formation. Just a bit of a fun build to use seasonal colours! BIG thanks to stevej60 who interupted his holiday to send me decals for the fin and RAF lettering, top man. Good kit, any mistakes down to me, main colour is Xtra color red arrows red with everything else either humrol or vallejo. Stencils all from the kit. Merry Christmas everybody!.

riever49 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Gorgeous model! What a brilliant idea. I would comment, however, that the Reds aircraft are very highly polished and carry very few stencils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbay133 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Very nice. That would have been impressive on the airshow circuit. Just image the Phantom as the singleton that approached from behind the crowd line; turn on reheat just as you cross the crowd. Love it.

Adam Poultney Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Beautiful! What scale is this? But just imagine that paint scheme on 9 Nuclear Doritos (Vulcans) Edited December 18, 2019 by Adam Poultney 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandoned Project Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Absolutely first class! It should of happened. A 'Tin Triangle' in red at the centre of the display would be the icing on the cake. But, I am partial to a what-if.

28ZComeback Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Best depiction of red color ever! Not glossy or semigloss but very lite... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Fantastic finish. Imagine the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds in their F-4 days joined by the Red Arrow although sadly due to cutbacks the team was reduced to one aircraft transported by road (haulage sponsors always welcome) for static display or slow drive pasts where the host airfield can provide a suitable tractor and towing arm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Very nice. If I had my say, they'd EE Lightings. Maybe they could be your next build, just saying. Stuart 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Wow!! Looks brilliant! If you had said this replicates a real prototype, I could have easily believed it. It just looks so right. Beautifully done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srkirad Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 This scheme looks brilliant on Phantom! It really refreshed its contours, and you did a really good job in painting those white stripes and tail flag! Cheers, S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
