NontasB Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hello to all, Another one in progress build (in total there are 12...), this time is the F-4S Phantom in 1/72. I chose to start with the kit of Italeri instead of the one from Hasegawa because I wanted to experiment with this old kit and to scribe it, detail it etc etc. For the hasegawa double kits that I also have, there are in my stash a few aftermarket details (cockpits, exhausts etc), so, It will be far easier build when I"ll start with those ones. The inspiration photo is the following . https://www.airliners.net/photo/USA-Navy/McDonnell-Douglas-F-4S-Phantom-II/676821/L 000 by Nontas B, on Flickr 001 by Nontas B, on Flickr 002 by Nontas B, on Flickr 003 by Nontas B, on Flickr 004 by Nontas B, on Flickr 005 by Nontas B, on Flickr 006 by Nontas B, on Flickr 007 by Nontas B, on Flickr 008 by Nontas B, on Flickr 009 by Nontas B, on Flickr 010 by Nontas B, on Flickr 011 by Nontas B, on Flickr 012 by Nontas B, on Flickr 013 by Nontas B, on Flickr 014 by Nontas B, on Flickr 015 by Nontas B, on Flickr 016 by Nontas B, on Flickr 017 by Nontas B, on Flickr 018 by Nontas B, on Flickr 019 by Nontas B, on Flickr 020 by Nontas B, on Flickr 021 by Nontas B, on Flickr 022 by Nontas B, on Flickr 023 by Nontas B, on Flickr 024 by Nontas B, on Flickr 025 by Nontas B, on Flickr 026 by Nontas B, on Flickr 027 by Nontas B, on Flickr To be continued...

billn53 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Wow! And you say you’re just experimenting, before doing a more serious build with the Hasegawa kit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NontasB Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 Black Mamba and Billn53 thank you for your nice words!! Bill, I prefer to build the worst kits of my stash first for experience and later in my life to enjoy the greatest ones. 🙂 Regards, Nontas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene K Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 An "ULTIMATE" upgrade of a mediocre kit!! Simply astounding. As well as your modeling prowess, I appreciate your photo documentation ... which obviously took a lot of time and effort. Thanks!

Hook Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Awesome! That hardly looks like the Italeri kit anymore, and that's a compliment. Cheers, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
