1/72 F4H-1 Prototype Phantom II Kitbash Done

[TheRealMrEd]

As indicated over in the build thread HERE

 

Here are a few more finished pictures, of a model that I've always wanted, built by kit-bashing a 1/72 Hasegawa F4B/N Phantom II kit, that eventually used NO aftermarket parts, NO resin parts, and  NO vacuformed parts.  I only used the parts in the Hasegawa box, some decals from the spares box, and of course, some decals printed on my inkjet printer at home.  I should mention here that all the needed artwork is provided in the build thread, free for any NON-Commercial use, if you would care to try one yourself.

 

The pictures:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Give one a try -- you'll like it!

 

Thanks for looking,

Nice job, Ed. Only problem I have with it is that mine is no longer unique!

Well done Ed!

You've built on of the holy grails of jet modelling.

Thanks to all for the kind comments.  Mostly, I was just curious to see whether it could be done, in the manner I chose, without the expense of a lot of aftermarket stuff...
