Spokane-Modeller Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Thanks Gary, the decals for the cockpit were a bit of a pain, but I git then on there. I'll be doing the "PN" MARKINGS for Clark afb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EX_Birdgunner Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Coming along nicely! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spokane-Modeller Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Thanks guys, for the kind words. i have come to a point where i have some questions about one part of this kit,,, the stabs the way the kit shows them going to me seems like they would be going on upside down? Is this correct?, the side profile would suggest that they are. thanks for looking and we're on the home stretch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Procopius Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 No, that's correct. The slots on the stabilizers should curve up, like so: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yUrtn6OoyxQ/Tmtg3dikEcI/AAAAAAAABYo/ZEd5IZ_P-fs/s1600/F-4B+Slotted+Stabilator.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bashace Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Right-O then! ill get back to work, just seemed a little wierd to me. :rolleyes:/> I remember the first Phantom kit I built as a kid, I installed the stabs upside down because that looked like the logical way to install them (I started early with not following directions...lol), I was later corrected by the older kid next door that also built models.

Spokane-Modeller Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Too True bashace, i was notorious for skipping steps, my first was an F-14D(or A) cant remember now but it was in 1/32 or 48 again cant remember had to be in the early 90's ish? came with VF-103 decals and to this day still my favorite navy squadron.
