ZAgocs Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hi, Jan and Denis, thanks for your kind words! Why don´t you build this beauty on? Well, I started other kits also and this one got lower priority. Too many models, so little time. Check my Intruder and Super Hornet. I also give you a hint about my current favorite (I will start an in-progress topic for this later, hence the text on the photo): But after the Intruder is finished, I'll switch back to the Phantom. Seriously. Cheers, Zoli Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schneidi Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Looks like the engine of an AH-64 APACHE. Without any doubts an extraordinaryly giftet modeller. Beste wishes from Germany to Hungary. Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Major Walt Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Judging from your initial comments, you are far too modest. I enjoyed reading this thread. Beautiful job, sir! I'm hoping to see more soon! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZAgocs Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hi! Judging from your initial comments, you are far too modest. I enjoyed reading this thread. Beautiful job, sir! I'm hoping to see more soon! :) Thanks a lot, Walt! I didn't make any progress on the Phantom since 2011 January as life (job, family) and other models got in the way. I want to finish an A-6E Intruder and an Italeri 1/72 Super Hornet before getting back to this one - I'm hoping to make some progress in this year.

ZAgocs Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi everyone! I touched this model in 2011 January last time. Since then I finished other models - now it's time to get back to this one and complete it. Before assembling the intakes and the airframe the area behind the intakes should be painted. So I finished and masked the cockpit to be able to paint the sides. See you next time... B) Cheers, Zoli Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ZAgocs Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hi everyone! This project is still not dead... just the progress is waaaay too slow. The whole fuselage including wings was assembled, then the gaps were fixed and some masking was done to prepare the painting process. That's all for now - I hope you like this. I'm currently masking and painting the wheel wells. Next time I will post images of it. Cheers, Zoli Quote Link to post Share on other sites
