She looks great. Tri-camo looks particularly nice.

Now this is looking so good Ian and I'm so envious!! ( let's hope when I get to paint stage I can achieve something that looks as good as yours )
Really like the decalling too
Your phantom defo looks a winner to me

Got all the decals on now. Going to start putting some oil and fuel stains on before the undercarrage goes in/on.

That looks A1 Ian, very nice work

 

[colin m]

That was a lot of decals. Luckily, my decals were rubbish, so I gave up on mine, and saved some sanity.

 

[dubster72]

That looks really good Ian, takes a lot of patience with all those decals!

 

[Robert1968]

I'm so looking forward to getting my decals started Ian ( now I will have to book a wee session when I get to that stage.
Your making so much top work on this Ian.
My week is taken up in and out of court as I'm in jury service ( what fun) Not!!!

Well at least your in the jury and not in the dock Robert.

 

[papa 695]

Getting the grime put on with oils.

 

[Robert1968]

Now that's very impressive Ian and I'm such a long ways off but I'm progressing slowly but surely.
I really like your grime on the undersides ( very subtle and yet loohs very apt too )
I take me hat off to you

Regards

Robert

Looks superb ian , these aircraft saw a lot of very intense service in vietnam in far from ideal conditions so i imagine they would have gotten very weathered , cheers tony

I've got the fuel tanks and gun pod painted. I'm no going to tackle the kits missiles, there a little sorry looking to say the least. Oh and I've started one of the two pilots that come with the kit.

Even if my build has stalled for these last two weeks its great to see the other GB participants cracking on. Great work Ian and every one else still at it.

Agree, this is providing me with inspiration for when I get back to the bench, hopefully very soon. Great job on the staining Ian, bit of a shame about the quality of the missiles but it's looking awesome even without teeth.

 

[papa 695]

Nearly got this one completed, just the missiles to paint up and put on.

 

[dubster72]

That looks awesome Ian! You're definitely setting the benchmark in this GB.
