Phantasy Phantom
This was a pretty fast build. Due to the pandemic, my school got moved completely online so I’ve been having a lot more time for my models. On Tuesday, as I was watching the election, I kept seeing the American flag come up and that gave me an idea for the paint scheme. I had to substitute light grey for white and use decals from a variety of places. The stars on the tail came from a tank and some of the other decals came from a thunderbolt.
That's a great scheme - I'd love to have seen that flying off a carrier.
Exceptional scheme, Amari.
Well done.
This is a beautiful build, Amari @themturtles!
Full of imagination!
I was doing such "inspired form something" builds when I was your age, and I enjoyed them so much!
Here are two pics I just took for you: a Matchbox F-16B that I build 40 years ago and I have still kept it in my showcase:
The scheme was inspired from the YF-16 prototype, with my own color interpretation.
I love it, I wish I could do such builds today, and I might even do!
The Airfix Phantom looks good. I can see the panel lines are a tad on the deep side, seems that it is kind of a norm for the "NEW AIRFIX" kits.
Such a good thing that you spend your "free" time doing something really creative.
You make us proud!
Well done!
Thank you Spiros Pendedekas for sharing @fiveten.
Looks similar to a Marine bicentennial scheme Phantom! Well done.
Very creative !
Looks great, Amari! Keep up the good work.
Creative paint scheme, keep it up!
Lots of "outside the box" here, Amari. Keep it up.
Nice work!
