phantom Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Starting this bad boy up. Hasegawa F-4C/D kit with REALLY old Superscale decals This plane is so important I think I am going to do it TWICE!!!!! But I will keep them both on this same thread. The first will be all mission style with weapons and a Black Box cockpit, and the earlier mentioned Superscale decals. The second will be closed up in the scheme it wore just before it was retired, using Two Bobs decals from the 2010 IPMS sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_superbug Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Welcome Shawn.. Definitely going to be watching this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'll be watching and lagging behind you...........naturally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Well, the one that got the Black Box cockpit sure is giving fun. And yes, I have used the Black Box cockpit with Hasegawa Phantoms many times now. Just think THIS one (perhaps the model itself) just did not fit well or is warped. Well models do not beat me. I beat them into submission. I WILL win. Super glue and a vis will make it so. The other one which is OOB went together just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 And now, the wings be on. As you can see, the gap which was substantial is now closed. The intakes which are normally the part that fits the worst for Hasegawa Phantoms both fit just fine. No putty what-so-ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

airmechaja Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I don't think I've ever had a resin cockpit cooperate willingly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Werner's Wings has a great decal sheet for this in 1/48th (in case you weren't aware of it). I've got that one and they're set in 1/32nd - really nice. http://wernerswings.com/Ritchie-friends.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Finished the boss's new kitchen first. THAT took time. Then 12 hour shifts at work. Hopefully can get back at it Monday or Tuesday if I don't get called in for overtime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

airmechaja Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If I could build as fast as you, I wouldn't know where to put all my finished kits. Great work as usual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
