Stunning work! First time seeing a USAF Phantom with folded wings...different!

Just let it be and press on, nobody will notice when it's finished.

I used my Nikon D750 with a Tamron Super Wide f/2.8 lens without flash set in Sports Mode, couldn't have asked for better pics considering the lighting and backdrops.

I don't think I've ever used the decals that come in Tamiya kits, never cared for their marking choices in the box, always went AM.

Looking good, love the Eduard Mig-21's!

I have Phantoms from Eduard (Academy), Academy, Hasegawa, and ZM. Have "B" models already on the shelf, not going to add another just because it's Tamiya. They all build into decent looking Phantoms, some are a little more or less work than others, but still great kits.

I'm really liking those wheels!

I agree, just like trying to build a Tamiya 1/32 F-4E with unwanted battle damage repairs on it!

Believe it or not, the original kit canopy upon first opening was cracked into two pieces, requested a replacement from Classic Airframes that arrived broken with the broke off piece missing. I know it's a longshot, but if there's one out there, I would like to buy it from you.

That's a great looking jet, good job!

I'm pretty sure this plane will be landing itself, if there is a pilot on board, he's just along for the ride. Besides, if it doesn't have the "Look-through" technology like the F-35 I would be shocked.

Nice work! I remember seeing these operating in camo without markings.

Gwen, you are not supposed to use a "thinner" in the paint jar, the Mr Color Replenishing Agent is not a "thinner", it is basically the carrier that evaporates from the paint, specifically formulated for their Mr Color paint line.

I have a rack full of Mr Color paint, some are easily 10 or so years old. I keep a bottle of Mr Color Replenishing Agent on hand, this restores the thickened paint back to its former glory.

I have some that I've been "working" on for 10 years.
