phantom Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Now I begin a 1964ish RCAF CF-110A (maybe a J) Phantom. Its a really bad looking Monogram kit with mold in the corners of the nasty box and missing its clear parts. Luckily I have a couple Hasegawa clear parts I am going to jam in their for poops and giggles. Its going to get early 60s RCAF markings on 1970s style paint as their was never any such thing as a natural metal Phantom. Right now I am leaning towards 425 squadron.

Bigasshammm Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 So it'll have paint or its going to be nmf? Nmf would be awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Shawn, I would think that for a change the porcupine would have at least one crest on a phantom....... Emil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mawz Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 So it'll have paint or its going to be nmf? Nmf would be awesome! Definitely a different look for the Phantom, I'd dig it. Another option would be to use a painted Clunk or Sabre scheme, I'd dig a CF-110A in the variegated over light grey CF-100 Mk.4 scheme Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Well, I need to be off work. Seeing as I do 12 hour days and a couple in the car I do nothing model wise work days. Today I was not feeling 100% so called in sick. But I am mostly better now. Anyway here is a model. I have some resin intake plugs which seem not to fit the Hasegawa, but DO fir the Monogram. This really cuts down on the amount of putty compared to my other Monogram Phantoms. Hopefully more work on Tuesday or Friday, which ever day I do not get called in, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hasegawa clear parts fit slightly better then the Monogram ones. Still need putty and a bit more work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Straightened out the paint. More black then I wanted but it hides the not quite fitting replacement clar part issus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
