I think there's room and time for one more. So I will start a 1/72 Hasegawa F-4E and will do it in 57th FIS markings. The 57th FIS was part of ADC and based at NAS Keflavik on Iceland. They were painted in ADC grey, so this should be an easy and quick build.

I am not happy with myself. The F-4 is my favorite aircraft and I have yet to finish a kit for this group build. I will finish my RF-4 tomorrow and I am going to start on a 1:48 Monogram F-4C. It will be OOB so I should be able to finish it before the end of August.

Sadly as much as I desired to participate in this GB, life has a way of disrupting ones plans and leaving naught but anguish, sadness and utter frustration. I cannot start a build at this late date and hope to finish it in time to beat the deadline. I suppose it could be done; if I left off the paint, sanding and other steps required to do a decent build, however I will not dishonor the GB or other modelers or the hobby by entering a build with less than 100% effort. I will enjoy seeing the builds others submit, how can one not enjoy phantastic Phantoms philling the phorum with photos :whistle: :D .

I just realised I never made a post here for my 8th entry! So here it is then: 1/72 Accurate Miniatures F-4C/D using Monokio decals for ROKAF SEA scheme.

Not a problem, already had this build listed on the tracking spreadsheet for you :thumbsup:

I think I have time for one more... entry #9 (number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine...)

So: I'm going to start on a Hasegawa RF-4E (1/72 of course) with Airdoc decals for a Luftwaffe plane in Norm 72.

BUT! If the decals arrive by Wednesday's mail, I'll switch that entry to a US Navy F-4G - if that's alright with the mods? If not - I'll see the RF-4 through!

Okay, so nothing from Hannant's in today's mail, so for my ninth and final entry I'll be doing the Hasegawa RF-4E (1/72) with Airdoc decals for a Luftwaffe bird in Norm 72.

I failed to finish in time, but I will press on. Thanks for running the GB, it has re-ignited my desire to build airplanes, and especially Phantoms.

I think this should be a perpetual group build. You can never have enough Phantoms... So many operational paint schemes, one off special paint jobs, and operational variants. Not to mention, a lot of different kits available. and the Decals. I got the latest Caracals and Furball sheets, and I want to build all the options!

As the final coat of Future dries on my Phantom I regret that I am, quite literally, a day late and a dollar short. :crying2:/>

This was my first GB experience, and I must say that it set the standard for many more to come! The encouragement and support from the rest of the group was a great reminder as to why I got back into the hobby.

Thank you for allowing me to participate, and next time I will not let real life interfere so much with my model building :whistle:/>

Interestingly i went to the completed GB section and in the past the F-4 GB and well we beat them in completed entries!!

The F-4 Phantom 50th Anniversary Group Build

on a key note phantom only managed 5 last time whistle.gif/>

True, and one of those was almost my last ever 1/72 phantom. Those were built before my eyes started to go south on me. I notice the difference.
