Ken Middleton Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Guys, You can post pics of your completed work here. I will have a process for submitting pics to be shown on a section of my website. I still need to set that up. thanks Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Phantoms don't take long to build. Especially when you have built as many as me! Hasegawa 1/48 F-4J with Aeromaster decals. Built out of the box (apart from the decals) and a couple pieces of 90 degree brass to hold up the wings. This one was built to replace one built some years ago in baby scale.

phantom Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 And if your going to build one VF-74 Phantom you might as well build two. This one is has after market seats, but I'm not sure by who, it also uses aftermarket decals in this case from Eagle strike. This one was also built to replace an older baby model......

John Krukowski Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Phantastic job on a phabulous scheme. Oops! Just saw the second one... Both (or all four) are really nice! John Edited November 21, 2010 by John Krukowski Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Thanks, the little ones were done several years ago. They and around 20 other little guys are due for Tony's museum or the garbage for the really damaged ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 wow that was fast! Great work Shawn - they look really nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zotted Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Should do a pictures of how high your stash of F-4's are during this GB. I suspect it goes "down two boxes, then up three boxes" :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlicari Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Here is my completed BTD-1 from Planet Models, in 1/72 (all resin kit). The BTD-1 was supposed to be a plane that could handle both the dive-bomber and torpedo bomber roles. Changing requirements prolonged development, and resulting plane never saw service, despite being a good performer. It was a fun, fast build, as the quality of the kit was very good. Few fit issues, and few pinholes that can be a nightmare with resin kits. Ugly thing, isn't it? :) Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) Went and used up a whole bunch of after market stuff. I received this kit (hasegawa special addition)from another modeler who did not want to do it. Came with resin intakes. First time I ever used them on the Phantom and boy what a difference. I have no idea what company they came from but they matched the old school Hasegawa Phantom (raised lines) well. Then, Eduard photo etch and Eagle Strike decals. Also the Hasegawa special addition metal stuff. Its CVW-8 VF-142 in 1974 as on board the America. Wish some one would do decals for VF-143. I built this one to replace the little 1/72 guy. Its going to Tony's place. Edited November 29, 2010 by phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 nice work Shawn - you sure are a building machine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I think what Phantom really did was model an F-4 production facility and then brought it to life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erwin Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Hi all, Just my opinion here. But I feel the gallery shound only be used to post pictures of the finished models. Comments should be given in the buildreport. If we all start like this the gallery will becomme a mess. Edited December 1, 2010 by erwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will be doing that within the next couple of weeks. So people can go there and view them without sifting through other's postings Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nitevision92 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 First of all, I apologise for not including more in-progress photos. I had to solve a couple of problems (largely due to my fault) and didn't manage to take more photos. -I lost the gunsight. -Problems with the cockpit tub fit, which led to.... -Problems with the landing gear fit. -Airbrush was splattering paint to infinity and beyond- no hope of seeing fine lines. -A masking/Future-related accident forced me to paint the whole canopy by hand. -Ran out of thinner- last I checked, there was only about a teaspoonful's worth of the stuff left. All that being said, here she is, my first AB project. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) My first Navy bird for the build. I'll have a couple more as the year goes on I'm sure. F4U-1 VF-17 Jolly Rogers "Big Hog" Link to the build thread is in my mini build thread posted below. Hope you enjoy. Being given as a gift for my dad Friday. Kris EDITED with better pictures after I weathered it a bit. Wasn't happy with the clean look of it before. Edited December 30, 2010 by Bigasshammm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
