1/72 Testors/Italeri RF-4E Luftwaffe in Norm 72 scheme

by Greg Kittinger on August 14, 2016 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This Recce Phantom is my group build contribution. Relatively fun kit to put together. There were no details in the cockpit, so I did a bit of scratch building to add a center bulkhead, beef up the instrument panels to give them some [...]

Sooo many beautiful and convincing Phantoms have been posted in this forum - so I will take the opportunity to post one more as well...;-) Its the Eduard Limited Edition "Good Morning Da Nang" kit, and the build was a real [...]

1/72nd Fujimi F-4G Phantom II, Wild Weasel, Gulf War 1991 USAF,(F4GB)

by Chuck A. Villanueva on August 13, 2016 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This GB was an excellent idea from Greg Kittinger, though not part of the build plan for this year, it did allow me to squeeze it in though and it was a pleasure to be able to complete it. I had at first to start working on the Academy [...]

F-4 Phantom, Group Build – Eduard 1/48

by Ralph Clements on August 13, 2016 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I almost forgot to post these today...This is the Eduard 1/48 'Rockin' Rhino" kit. Of the 4 color/decor schemes, I chose "VX-4 Th Evaluators, NAS Point Mugu, 1972" not only because it is cool looking but is the simplest too, [...]

Luftwaffe F-4F (1/144 Academy, Phantom II Group Build)

by Dmitry Stropalov on August 13, 2016 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Maybe the smallest Phantom in this group build and on my display shelf also. I don't have much to say about this model, especially after more than a month after finishing it. But it was fun to build something in a such unusual (for me) [...]

1/48 Phantom FG.1 (Group Build)

by John Healy on August 13, 2016 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

This is the 1/48 Hasegawa kit built OOB with the exception of the decals, which came from Aeromaster. The 48 FG.1s built for the Royal Navy are the most unique Phantoms of all. The RR Spey engines necessitated a redesign of the fuselage. [...]

by Marc Barris on August 13, 2016 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I managed to make the molds for the front(Cracked kit part) and rear main canopy, I used my trusty, home made Vac form machine, it worked like a charm. I then did all the canopy framing with lead strip and masked and painted. I am off to [...]

Academy 1/48 T-33A Shooting Star

by Tom Bebout on August 13, 2016 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

So once in a while I'll do a jet or two depending on my interest. This kit is pretty much OOB, with the exception that I added some True Detail seats and wheels. The kit decals represent the 67th FBS, 18th FBW, Osan, Korea, 1953. Paint [...]

If anyone read my post about the Eduard Spitfire I posted in Egyptian markings recently you will remember my griping about the poor quality ,now it's time to eat my words because this little kit went together without a hitch.I only really [...]
