RMP2 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hi. I couldnt find an intro section so thought the next best thing would be to post a completed model and get some feedback. Its the Revell reboxing that Im sure you all know of and I built it to get back into modelling and play with one of those new fangled airbrush things. Its OOB with Eduard cockpit and belts PE. Ladders and RBF bits are ongoing to make it part of a diorama showing the 2 Squadron change over day onto the Jaguar. But heres the model itself for now. Its not without its flaws, one glaring one given the diorama and date that its supposed to represent. Thoughts are always appreciated. Oh, and Hi! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Very nice, I'd be proud to have that in my display case. The only suggestions I have is to tone the finish down a little and to add a wash to the wheel bays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RMP2 Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Thanks. Its a bit "brighter" in the photos than in the flesh - thats me with a poor camera and skills I think (hope). Washes are a new thing for me, I have experimented on some WIP builds and a Starfighter that Ive finished and I think youre right. I may come back to it one day and have a go.

I thought it may have been the flash, it honestly looks great. I love the interior, the ejection seats look great. My cousin worked Phantoms in the RAF, I did the same job in the CAF but on Hornets, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bravosierra001 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Looks good to me!! But a Phantom always does to me!!! Nice build, and look forward to seeing more in the future! Brandon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Theres another one almost complete - its a Royal Navy affair with a pair of "shouldnt be on it" Exocets, just because they look good. :) The idea with the Phantoms is to have at least one each of the UKs F, G and R versions with relevant stuff hanging off them and an assortment of colour schemes. Same goes for Jags and 104s, but will take me a while! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Nice solid build right there. Well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teeradej Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Very nice indeed! The finish looks superb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RMP2 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Very kind of you guys, thank you very much. I was a little hesitant to post in here, but looks like Im doing something right even without washes. I really must paint up the access ladders and get the accompanying Jaguar sorted for staging something along the lines of this: Ive finally got the Jag decals for the correct aircraft (XZ101 (S)) Just need to scratch build a Jag ladder as theyre nowhere to be found anymore, sadly.
