Popular Post TEZ Posted June 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2020 Here’s my latest build - MRP paints used throughout, weathered with oils and black basing. Decals in the main are from Airdoc, although the kit sheets provided some minor details. Seats, Intake blanks, RBF tags and ladder were aftermarket. Sidewinder acquisition round was made up from plastic rod. SUU-23 gun pod came from one of the Hasegawa weapons sets. 68 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Excellent FGR.2! I love the air superiority camouflage which was very popular with all Western air forces at that time. Wildenrath Phantoms have a special meaning for me since 19 and 92 Squadrons were the primary air policing units in our sector when I was an air defence controller in the German Air Force. It is more than likely that your model was under my supervision a few times in 1981/82 for intercept practice or Dissimilar Air Combat Training with the Harriers from Gütersloh. Thanks for reviving such nice memories. Michael 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Extraordinary model. I'm especially impressed with the probe covers and the remove-before-flight streamers. They look to be to scale and add a real life quality to the model. I rarely see those on a model and they're definitely eye catching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scimitar F1 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Really good modelling - great to see another F-4. Quick question - where did you get the covers for the AoA sensor etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger331 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Great model of a great subject. I had a chuckle when I saw the different colouring on one of the drop tanks. It reminded me of a rather a£$7 SEngO who, upon arrival on the Squadron at Leuchars hit the roof when he spotted that aircraft were similarly kitted out and, regardless of all of the other priorities, directed that all of the drop tanks should be of a uniform colour to match the recently re-delivered aircraft that had returned from a major with the new colour scheme. Anyway, well done, Sir - GREAT result ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLC1966 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Lovely model. XV430 was Alpha during my (and #PhonePhixer) time on the Sqn, and a future build Great Work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phone Phixer Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 That is a superb Phantom. Lovely weathering. Undercarriage ground locks too, you seem to have intimate knowledge of the beast. 1 hour ago, PLC1966 said: XV430 was Alpha during my (and #PhonePhixer) time on the Sqn Certainly was. Including thee time it had a close call with a Canberra T17 and came back minus the nav, rear seat and canopy!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was seven rear canopies before we could get one to fit correctly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoohoo Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Beautiful paintwork and weathering I have the Revell boxing close to the top of the stash and will be looking back at this for inspiration, if mine comes out half as good I'll be very happy - great work!
