Johnson Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Thanks Bertie, a really excellent read! And very useful to me as I'm just getting going on the 1/72 Hobby 2000 F-4C, a reboxed Hasegawa (and thanks @Gene K for the seamless intake tips which I'll see if I can use). Oh, and Phantasic Phantoms Bertie (nearly forgot to say! ). Wonderful weathering too which I've noted for reference. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just noticed I forgot the flamin' hydraulic rams. Grrrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Very nice work on both of your Phantoms Bertie. Especially good to see such a good model made from the old ESCI tooling. Very well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m committed to the French Fancy AND Nordic GBs as well as a WIP of my own in the Armour section. Three simultaneous and reported builds are as much as I wish to manage. Or could! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostbase Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Wow! Bertie, you have taken the old ESCI kit to a whole new level. 😎 Superb! Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Thank you, Michael. It came out a lot better than last time I tried, and failed to finish it. However, you must remember that I didn't make a point of photographing the bits that weren't up to par. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
