    Hi everyone!
    Today my sons were gifted these two lovely 1/100 Tamiya kits from my local modeling club...

    ...which, of course meant that I had to start building them ASAP, "with their help" 🤭
    Anyway, started the Japanese F-4... ...and here it is so far... Hopefully it will be a participant to our modeling club's show/contest on 30 March. More to come!

    Beautiful entries, Spiros @fiveten
    Never heard about a 1/100 scale kit, but with Tamiya the quality should be fine.
    Great you will have a contest with the local club, you should be able to have them finished by then.

    Thanks my friend @johnb! Looks like a very nice little kit. There is really not that much into the cockpit, but overall detail is good, as is the kit engineering, easy to assemble.

    Progressing nicely, Spiros @fiveten
    Even in 1/100 it is still a big aircraft.

    Thanks my friend @johnb! Indeed, in 1/100 it is still sizable.

    Time flies, Spiros @fiveten
    The gray looks great on the F4
