D_IcarUS_ Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 So far so good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Panelwash and weathering complete, not too sure if it's too much? Opinions welcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 In my opinion it is too much, especially the panel lines are very dark. Maybe another wipe? But it will be a beauty rhino! Will you show it in telford in november? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janissary Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Overall, it looks very nice but I believe the weathering might be a tad bit too much. The panel line color could be slightly lighter as well. But again, it is a very nice build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yup, another whipe will do the trick! Fantastic work!, scott! Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D_IcarUS_ Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 A little too much... However, search photos of the real "thing" as greek airplanes have always much weathering. Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 That is one Phantastic Phantom......all those decals must have taken a day or two, and I know those exhausts can be exhausting to do (pun intended) . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Turning out great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated. tobiK, no I won't be at Telford as the distance from mine to the show and the cost it would entail, I can't justify it a few weeks before Christmas. Had they held it earlier in the year then maybe. Why do they have it in November anyway? Right then, I 've given the Phantom another wipe and this is the result Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boman Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Excellent build! What aftermarket (if any) did you use for the AIFF-antennas on the nose? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D_IcarUS_ Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Now it's seems ok. It turned out more accurate. Well done mate. Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Excellent build! What aftermarket (if any) did you use for the AIFF-antennas on the nose? The AIFF antenna are built up from sytrene. First I cut 4 parts approx 1mmx1mmx4mm long and glued them in place, once dry I sanded them into shape until they were wafer thin, these were the bases. Next I cut the front fins off a AIM9 and using sand paper I thinned these down and stuck then onto the bases and finally sanded to shape. Not 100% accurate but the best I could think of.
