nontas_337 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hello to all, Another one in progress build (in total there are 12...), this time is the F-4S Phantom in 1/72. I chose to start with the kit of Italeri instead of the one from Hasegawa because I wanted to experiment with this old kit and to scribe it, detail it etc etc. For the hasegawa double kits that I also have, there are in my stash a few aftermarket details (cockpits, exhausts etc), so, It will be far easier build when I"ll start with those ones. The inspiration photo is the following . https://www.airliners.net/photo/USA-Navy/McDonnell-Douglas-F-4S-Phantom-II/676821/L 000 by Nontas B, on Flickr 001 by Nontas B, on Flickr 002 by Nontas B, on Flickr 003 by Nontas B, on Flickr 004 by Nontas B, on Flickr 005 by Nontas B, on Flickr 006 by Nontas B, on Flickr 007 by Nontas B, on Flickr 008 by Nontas B, on Flickr 009 by Nontas B, on Flickr 010 by Nontas B, on Flickr 011 by Nontas B, on Flickr 012 by Nontas B, on Flickr 013 by Nontas B, on Flickr 014 by Nontas B, on Flickr 015 by Nontas B, on Flickr 016 by Nontas B, on Flickr 017 by Nontas B, on Flickr 018 by Nontas B, on Flickr 019 by Nontas B, on Flickr 020 by Nontas B, on Flickr 021 by Nontas B, on Flickr 022 by Nontas B, on Flickr 023 by Nontas B, on Flickr 024 by Nontas B, on Flickr 025 by Nontas B, on Flickr 026 by Nontas B, on Flickr 027 by Nontas B, on Flickr To be continued...

GreyGhost Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Looking really nice! Good job on the pit and exhausts. -Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Um.... WOW!! Really impressive bit of scratchbuilding to improve on the the basic kit. And I like the subject choice. Just enough color to break up a very dirty grey Phantom. Looking forward to more progress. -Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nontas_337 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Thank you Gene and Sabre45 for your nice words. The project is still on, it's not forgotten, in fact the wings are attached to the fuselage, but there is not much time lately in order to continue as I want to. I hope there will be a progress to this soon. Nontas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
