Very nicely done!

 

May I ask what stands you are using please?

 

I'm building that F4 and putting a Phantom on a stand just makes it look a lot more beafy and aggressive.

Thanks for the tips it's always useful to know any fit problems in advance it's odd there's not more in box British Phantoms in 1/48 I'd definitely shell out for a 1/32 Phantom from the box I think I saw HK models saying they were going to make one but that was a few years back and I've heard nothing since so not holding my breath on that one.

the sea blur effect is from coastal kits.  The clear riser is from a set called wings of the great war, you get a stand and 3 risers, 3 in, 5in and 7 in.  the wood is from a local shop that I stained and glued the blurr effect on top.

Do you keep an eye on the military ships coming in and our of San Diego Bay?

 

Super nerdy question but I went to San Diego a few years back and there was all sorts in there. At least 2 carriers and a fire on another ship!

 

People keep an eye on what comes out of Portsmoth Harbour near me.
