USN F4-J PHANTOM "JOLLY RODGERS"
Built this as a "Quickie", OOB to give me a break between the "Dora", and the now started 1/100th HMS Victory. (build photo's on another article eventually)
Kit was a real pleasure to build, but for some reason i had an issue with the gloss coat prior to the decals. The only way around it was a quick sand down and hope the result was OK.
Just noticed that although glossed, the tailfin decals have a HUGE amount of silvering.
Anyway, this ones finished , and its not too bad.
Well, looks amazing for sure, Tony!
Well done!
Thanks Spiros. If i did another, i dont think i'd rush it as much.
Not bad at all, Tony @tonyanderton
Nice chosen scheme.
Thanks John.
Great looking Jolly Roger "J " bird! While on a Med cruise on board Nimitz we transported one VF 84's. Phantoms back to NAS Oceana I don't remember what was wrong with it, it was not air worthy.
Thanks Robert.
Turned out well, quickies never go to plan.
Fine looking Phantom!
Very nice!
I have the very same kit on the bench right now. Unlike yours, mines been on hold for for a few weeks due to work schedule. For a speed build yours turned out good.
