    Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. You certainly spared no effort getting all of the details just right. Adios, Larry

    I built two of the First-Generation Fujimi F-4Ks back in the late 1980s. First model i ever won a 1st place award in competition with. I thought it was a delight to build except for the sidewall inserts in the aft cockpit.

    Whose ejection seats are those?

    Nice build!

    Thanks David,
    Glad you liked it. The seats are by Pavla from memory.
    Cheers,

    Beautiful, and so great to see a RN Phantom. Those ejection seats are fantastic for the scale too! The details must be microscopic!

    Glad you liked it Christopher.

    The bang-seats were Pavla I think, quiet cheap at around NZ$3.00 I think. I like painting them as they add some interest to the model. I paint two lead wires, one yellow and one black, and then twist them together to make firing handles. Here are two more 1/72 Pavla seats I put in a DH Sea Vixen and EE Lightning...

    Cheers,
    Mark
