I'll take this and all the F-104 aftermarket stuff if still available. Shipped to APO, AE 09309 Priority Mail. $24 Hasegawa, TF-104G Starfighter “Italian Special” (09756)

Eric, that's really amazing, I would rather pass a set of those bombs as kidney stones before building and painting all of those.

Peter, Although I didn't join the competition, I did enjoy the questions, that was a novel idea. Speaking from my experience, most of the people I know that build models have a hard time (bad eyes, chubby fingers, etc) with 1/72 details, so anything smaller than that would be a no go. There has been a recent explosion of 1/144 kits being offered, so in given time, I'm sure 1/144 will build up a good following. V/r Ron

And for the $100 Spruebothers Gift Certificate, Brutus is the winner. I use a paid raffle service called "RANDOM dot ORG" to randomly select a name from a group, the results can be viewed online if there's any questions.

So do I, sure would hate to put that Tamiya 1/32 F-4D in my collection.

as far as I know, the Hasegawa kits are the best on the market in 1/72 scale. Spruebrothers has a large assortment of F-4 kits and accessories in this scale.

They don't want to go to the post office and fill out the customs forms. Sometimes you will get a seller that will go the extra mile for you, but it's not common. I have similar issues.

I remember reading somewhere that if you add a drop of blue paint to the white, it's supposed to reduce the potential to yellow.

Still waiting for a start date, Phantom is working that with the Mods.

Ok, things are starting to get tasty! Have a NIB Tamiya 1/32 F-4D to toss in the raffle pile.

Depending on the dates, I may be in with a Hun.

I'll keep my eyes open for good deals, especially in the "unusual" department.

Anybody have some Phantom love for Bigasshammm? I know there's a Revell 1/32 F-4E on Evilbay for $20, with $7 shipping. Box is rough but looks like the kit is complete.

That's great Jason, really appreciate your support!

So, does this mean that if an F-4 kit showed up in the mail you would join the build?

Come on Neo! Join the band wagon!

I set all my reminders for 18 Sep, not going to miss any more of these publications!

I don't know how we could have an F-4 Phantom group build without having Phantom on the team, also wouldn't hurt to have someone with GB Moderator XP.

Build the Phantom that they slam into the wall at high speed: F-4 PHANTOM CRASH TEST - 1988 - SANDIA NATL LABS - 2 The purpose of the test was to determine the impact force, versus time, due to the impact, of a complete F-4 Phantom -- including both engines -- onto a massive, essentially rigid reinforced concrete target (3.66 meters thick). Previous tests used F-4 engines at similar speeds. The test was not intended to demonstrate the performance (survivability) of any particular type of concrete structure to aircraft impact. The impact occurred at the nominal velocity of 215 meters per se

Woohoo! Scored two signed photographs (Vietnam F-4 C/D, Steve Ritchie is one of 4 that signed one of them, the other has 2 signatures) and a couple hard to get Phantom prints from the F-4 Phantom Society to use as raffle prizes. This is the kind of stuff that any Phantom nut would jump through hoops for. I haven't even hit up the hobby suppliers for Phantom stuff yet. Gonna have some good giveaways if this build gets off the ground.

Do you have a pile of Phantoms stacking up waiting for that magic moment to build one, now's the time to act. Looking to start the "Phantom Addicts Annonymous" Group Build some time in the spring, sure it seems like a long way off, but true Phantom builders may feel a little pressure for prep time. Let's here it if you feel up to the task!

Ok folks, everyone knows that Phantom builders are a "different" breed of modeler. If you want to see some of the most dedicated and skilled modelers around, just do a search on some of the Phantom builds on ARC. What do you say we bring all that talent together once again to allow some new Phantom blood to learn from the Phantom masters? If I'm not mistaken, the last Phantom build on ARC was about 6 years ago. I would be co-hosting build with Robert from Ro-gar Hobbies if we have enough interest. Group build would be exclusively F-4 Phantom related (to include all varients), run for 6 months,

That's right Jason, not gonna let you build this in secret, if it comes out anything like your USMC AT-6, it should be nothing less than awesome.

Woohoo! More decals for the Growler!
