yardbird78 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Love those Phantoms, especially the reconnaissance version. Are you doing one from Birmingham or Montgomery? I have several pictures of the one on display at the Birmingham ANG area, if you are interested. Darwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 The 75 th ann. BH one. Could work for both GBs currently running. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
texgal45 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Oh, I love, love, love, love Phantoms. Definitely will be watching this one. Grandma L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Everyone loves Phantoms. Built one or two myself now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Cockpit took a lot more filing then the non RF resin does. Got it to fit however. Also drilled out the photo flash doo-hickeys on one side for maintenance, poops and giggles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ichitoe Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Coming along nicely phantom! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thanks, first colour on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 A couple more colours Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yardbird78 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 That gray over gray with gray trim definitely needs a splash or two of color. Darwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Massive amount of special markings for this scheme. It will be colourful. Dumped the pitot tube by mistake. Paper clip in place. Looks better, and 10 times less likely to ever break off. Edited July 29, 2016 by phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ichitoe Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Those markings for that scheme really did wake up that gray. Another nicely done build phantom! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grandboof Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Another phantom well done Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yardbird78 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Very nice. How many Phantoms have you built? Darwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DONG Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Darwin Between 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 probably well over 300 closer to 400 and from what I've seen in his stash another 40 at least un-built. Ohh and nice job. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Thanks guys. Don G is not far off. This is 185 that have been on ARC. Seeing as most of the 1/72 ones for 20 to 30 years ago are gone I would hazard a guess of around 300. The total model count ( not given or thrown away) is just over 400 in the basement. With around another 75-100 commission builds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
texgal45 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Your Phantom turned out very well. It has just enough color to offset all of that gray. Grandma L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
