Tony G Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) I have a copy (PDF) of the MOD British Phantom Aircrew topic 15 manual publication. Although most is of little use to modelling (be it very informative) there is a very good section on the various RAF and Navy cockpits layouts that I am willing to share but I am unsure how I can make it available to those interested. Obviously giving everybody access to my OneDrive is not an option and the file size 180mb. I can give access to individuals by email link consent for the file Edited August 31, 2021 by Tony G update info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'm still undecided on what I'm going to do. With time dwindling down I'm probably going to have to scratch the HAF AUP though. Between the conversion set not being released yet, not being done with French & F-16 GBs, and that it will have to run alongside Ragnar. I want to be able to take my time and not be under the gun to finish (we all know I build at a glacial pace). So I'm probably back to either a USN or JASDF variant. Hopefully I can get the F-16s & F-100 finished up in the next couple weeks, this coming weekend being a long one should help as long as I can get to the bench.

There's little point taking on too much and finishing nothing, except to give us a reason for KUTA GBs. I bet every one of us does that from time to time though.

Giorgio N Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Now that I'm back in a positive GB mood, I should really consider taking part in this, of course after my Vigilante in an other GB is completed... since the two shared the engine, it makes sense to go from RA-5 to F-4... 😆 Not sure what to build, Luftwaffe F-4F or ANG grey F-4C ? Or a Vietnam era F-4E ? Or a strike configured FGR.2 ? Decisions, decisions.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The more Phantoms the merrier! I "think" I'm getting closer to a decision on what I want to do...and surprise, surprise, the 2 options I'm down to are not ones I'd originally been thinking though still both USN & JASDF. I'm going to stew on it for a day or so, play w/ some plastic, then order paints for both of them this weekend. I'll probably commit and open a thread in the next day or so...though I won't be diving in until a get a couple others cleared out. Though one of the options I'm looking at has a high probability of not completing in time due to stencils...but those are minor details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern is that I had planned a Hasegawa C with exactly those markings, courtesy of a Superscale sheet... now I understand this kit is even better than the Hase one and the decals would be well sized to the kit, something that may or not happen with Superscale's... still, do I want to invest in this specific box or should I build the Hasegawa C in these markings and invest in one of the other FM Phantom kits ?

Giorgio N Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Well, I have to blame Chris and Pete and a couple other modellers on the forum for the new dent in my wallet... in the end yesterday I gave up any pretense of sanity and ordered the new FM F-4C. While I was on the website I also ordered the F-14A from the same company, so more of my money going to Japan.. I know that in return I'll get two very good quality kits and this makes me of course very happy. I'll see if the kit arrives in time for this GB or what, if not I'll start something else... afterall I have other decals for the Hase kit in the stash... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevDWC Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I think I'll join this instead of just reading along, having actually finished the recent Blitzbuild, I'm keen to keep going. I have an Airfix FG.1, some decals to do VX 590 when it got zapped by the Americans, and some etch for the cockpit. I figure and hour or so each night will be good for progress while my beloved rots her brain with TV. Cheers, Justin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But remember there is nothing more infuriating for a wife than seeing their husband engaged in something they deem as unproductive. That’s why my workshop (Sanctuary) is a 100 metres up my garden she would have to get off the sofa to find out what I am doing / or not doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gidge Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 New Ware have just put out some mask sets for the Tamiya kit worth looking at. Similar to their masks for the Zoukei Mura kit I've got whish look pretty good. Incluses multiple size masks for the canopy to facilitate painting the canopy seals. https://mek.kosmo.cz/newware/indexmasks.htm https://www.scalemates.com/kits/new-ware-nwam0881-f-4b-phantom-ii-exhaust-nozzles-kabuki-masks--1372464 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/new-ware-nwam0880-f-4b-phantom-ii-expert-kabuki-masks--1372463 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/new-ware-nwam0879-f-4b-phantom-ii-advanced-kabuki-masks--1372462 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/new-ware-nwam0878-f-4b-phantom-ii-basic-kabuki-masks--1372460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
