International Scale Modeller

Better late than never they always say
Tamiya 1/72 rebox of an Italeri F4-S Navy Phantom
Kit is fair, lots of putty for seams, decals thick and yet fold over like a cheap tent, not sure of Tamiya's paint call outs either as mine looks so much darker than others
Sure love the look of this plane...double ugly??? No way

Once again I really admire your commitment to little details. The fact that I can see all the hard work in the cockpit despite its size tells me all I need to know...it's a great finish!

Thanks bud
Actually reasonably happy with this and I didn't get too crazy near the end with the "just get it done" feeling.
Only a bit crazy

Where do you get your bases from Scott?
Or are you making them from scratch?

I make them myself
That one is from Home Depot...it is a grey floor tile sample with yellow painted masking tape stripes and rub on numbering decals. Then just edged with chrome felt pen
Simple and easy, but don't tell everyone oh shoot I just did

She came our a bit darker than others I have seen even though I used the Tamiya paint codes asked for in instructions

That's one good looking Phantom. Love the paint job.
