What a journey of wonder this has been.

Every time I think it can't get any better you have surpassed yourself and what an absolutely beautiful finish to a fantastic build.

I cannot express just how gob-smackingly good this is.

Thanks so much for allowing us to join the journey.

 

Cheers,

Alistair

Thank you Alistair, you are way too kind too! :thumbsup:

An amazing educational journey for me Giorgio, and what a stunner this one has turned out to be.

 

Your attention to detail has really paid off, and the replication of the Greek camouflage is very effective and realistic.

 

Top job!

 

Terry

Glad you like it, Terry! :thumbsup:

It’s a beautiful example of a Phantom in what I think is probably the best looking camouflage ever worn by one. 

Dennis, I tend to agree about the HAF camouflage, it's definitely very intriguing. Thanks for the praise! :thumbsup:

Superb Phantom. Almost hard to believe it's only 1:72nd scale. Congrats. :clap:

Thank you! :thumbsup: But my (sore) eyes can confirm that it's actually 1/72 :rofl:

Stunning. So lifelike, I can almost smell it.

Well, the oil wash certainly helped in that regard :winkgrin: :D Thank you! :thumbsup:

great work Giorgio...
you are the phantom man...

 

You know that this plane, especially the UK version, have a special place in my heart...

 

ciao 

Silvano

 

 

Grazie Silvano - even more so for the precious reference book you lent me! :thumbsup:

 

I have one UK Spook kit in my stash, maybe next time... :winkgrin:

 

Alright, I added the RBF tags:

fm_finishing37

 

fm_finishing36

 

I did manage to knock off both canopies while doing that, but as you can see, I've glued them back since :banghead: No RFI yet, still waiting for a sunny afternoon for that.

 

Meanwhile, here's my new project:

Just noticed the update Giorgio, and yes the RBF tags are indeed the icing on the cake and the perfect finishing touch to a simply superb Toom - all round stunning model! 

 

I'm off to follow the crowd to watch your next masterpiece come together! :)

 

Top job!
