mungo1974 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 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 Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bashace Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 You havent updated the build list in a long time! 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.

NavyPhantoms Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnopfor Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 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.

NavyPhantoms Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Giving this a try Please don't bash it too much. This is my first effort in a few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Come August I might try a couple more. Right now I have a commission and a Hornet to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marshalll_modeler Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) May I join with this Phantom F-4S....Bottom and bit of the cockpit are complete?? Still much work to complete :)/>/>/> Thanks Steve Edited July 11, 2013 by marshalll_modeler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 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.

marshalll_modeler Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Thanks Ron....do not include me in the raffles. I am just looking for the motivation to finish this phantom....you Phantoms Addicts will help do the trick!!! Thank You Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Litvyak Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Litvyak Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 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)). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
