1/32 F-4J Phantom VF-142 Ghostriders


Recommended Posts

Hi all :salute:

Finished this thing last week:

Tamiya F-4j, PWMP deck tractor and figures, flightpath diorama set, Aires burner cans,master detailers pilots, Eduard PE sets, D-mold seamless intakes and the markings are a mix of about 5 to 6 sets from cam, hobby decals, kit decals and self made.

It depicts the CAG bird of VF-142 Ghostriders, early seventies.

Excellent work! :thumbsup:

Great weathering on the jet and tractor. The pilots and the carrier crew really makes the whole scene come alive.

I have a similar diorama in mind for my Tamiya Tomcat, someday... :woot.gif:

Really makes me want to build a Tamiya Navy Phantom, too bad there are (ASFAIK) no lo-wiz options for the F-4J...

Cheers,

Anders

One more question and I'm sure others want to know as well...Is the base a really big picture frame and did you use glass or lexan to make the cover? I have one of the 72nd GATO submarines and want to make a cover for it and a few airplanes I've got. Out here in New Mexico when the wind blows it includes a lot of sand...at no extra charge!! Again...very nice Phantom!! :thumbsup:
