jo020 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) This will be my first Group build. Straight out of the box. I choose this aircraft because I like those "Special Schemes" Edited February 4, 2008 by jo020 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jo020 Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Final update cockpit. Think about that this Kit is 1:72. The Makro function made it bigger than it is :) from the side: and from behind: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. Idacavage Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'll be following this thread closely as this Phantom is one of my favorites. Great choice for a Recon subject! For a little inspiration, here's a photo of this Phantom that I shot in October 1993. Enjoy! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Looks great so far I was wondering if the decals have the same mistake as the 1/48 version. On the part above the engines it says Birmincham instead of Birmingham. They even included a correction sheet, with the same error :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jo020 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Really busy in my job the last weeks, so i hasn´t really time for modelling. But I reach a small "milestep": The centerline tank is almost ready I made a little diorama from this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gene K Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I made a little diorama from this The model looks excellent. Are those kit decals you used on the interior? You may want to check about the Jeep, though. Don't believe you'll find those on a USAF flightline. Gene K Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't believe you'll find those on a USAF flightline. Gene K The jeep is just a little gag I didn´t want to show the centerline tank on the hard base. And yes, the decals are from the kit. Hopefully i will manage the next steps on building this kit the next 2 days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Watching this one as look great. I have the bare metal foil decals for this one in 1.48 and they got the spelling correct. Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
