My next project. McDD F-4J Phantom II from Italeri (ex ESCI) kit. 

[Tomcat101]

A lot better looking than my attempt.  Well done the subtle weathering is impressive.

Very very nice indeed ! For an old kit is certainly holds up really well. Great work 👍👍

Great work!

Great scheme. Those exhausts look awesome

[F-32]

That’s awesome, I remember my dad building this one for me when I was a kid, I had it hanging from my ceiling in the Sundowners scheme for years

Great job! I built many of these back in the 80s so I know what the kit is like, and while it may have been good at the time it has some nasty issues. How did you handle the very visible seams in the middle of the inboard intake wall? I found filling wasn't enough as the surface is a bit concave. I usually made a piece of card stock to cover it all up and blended that into the rest of the intake. It also looks like you've re-scribed the entire kit. Is there a WIP thread somewhere? I'd love to see how you produced such a fantastic job on the old Monogram gal.

 

Cheers,

Dobra robota! Wiele z nich zbudowałem w latach 80., więc wiem, jaki jest ten zestaw i chociaż mógł być dobry w tamtym czasie, ma kilka paskudnych problemów. Jak poradziłeś sobie z bardzo widocznymi szwami na środku wewnętrznej ściany wlotowej? Stwierdziłem, że wypełnienie nie wystarczy, ponieważ powierzchnia jest nieco wklęsła. Zwykle robiłem kawałek kartonu, aby to wszystko zakryć i mieszałem to z resztą spożycia. Wygląda też na to, że przepisałeś cały zestaw. Jest gdzieś wątek WIP? Chciałbym zobaczyć, jak wykonałeś tak fantastyczną pracę na starej dziewczynie Monogram.

 

Dzięki,

Rachunek

Unfortunately, I did not report the construction on any modeling portal. I am posting some photos from the construction of this Tomcat.

Thank you! That's a LOT of work, but the end result is worth it.
