Hi guys,

Change of plan for my build.....i'm still not impressed with some aspects of the new Academy kit,so i'll be changing back to the old faithful Hasegawa 1/48 30th Anniversary F-4E kit

Hello,

I am thinking of jumping in with my Testor's RF-4B ... At some point I painted the white parts, and started the cockpit. It is the boxing with bicentennial decals.

I was also curious, what is the lineage of the Testors 1/48th phantoms? I know Testor's usually boxed kits from other companies. I should be able to finish by the deadline.

Thanks

-Kurt

I will next undertake a ROKAF double build - F-4E and RF-4C, both Hasegawa, both 1/72. I started the F-4E on Monday, the RF-4C will start tonight!

The name of this GB... well, I wasn't one before, but I've certainly become one!

Yeah, been slacking there, actually built an Excel spreadsheet to keep up with everyone's progress for the raffles, could easily mod that to include the other data.

I'm just getting back in the hobby. My first build in ten years is an ESCI Phantom. I've built it a B in USN markings. I don't know how good it actually looks but I've had a great time building it. It gave me a chance to knock the rust off my airbrushing skills and try a few aftermarket parts. The Phantom is almost complete. The weapons and a few stencils are the last pieces to go on. I just have to figure out how to post pics on here.

You'll need to sign up to a picture sharing site like Flickr, Photobucket, Imageshack, etc and download your pictures there. They will provide direct links to show images here.

Hi Steve,

Your build is advanced well beyong what many would consider acceptable for the standard group build here on ARC. But, I will not turn away a potential Phantom Addict. Unless there are any objections, you can join the build and be elegibale for the monthly raffles given you have an active thread for each month, but I believe it would be unfair to others who have worked on their projects from the ground up in the PAA build for your entry to be eligible for the final raffle at this point.

Thank You

Steve

Okay, in with #6, if you want to count the 1/72 Airfix kit as an entry. :P

Will be building the kit up as an F-4J and using AeroMaster VF-103 decals.

There's still plenty of time left on the build clock to squeeze in another Phantom or two.

Okay, entry #7, which I will start tonight or tomorrow, will be a straight OOB build... 1/72 Hasegawa RF-4B of VMCJ-1, RM 00 in the 1971 scheme (marking option #3 in the VMCJ-1 boxing (00935)).
