nontas_337 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hello to all, Another one in progress build, another one Phantom and a vintage build. The kit was started in September of 2020. Although I do have the newer Hasegawa F-4E kit, which is great, I chose the older one to experiment with it a little more. The inspiration was the last unmanned mission of the QF-4E version in 2016 https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/5065/the-phantastic-qf-4-phantom-full-scale-target-drone-takes-its-phinal-unmanned-phlight 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 To be continued...

ST0RM Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 WOW! Another amazing bit of scratchbuilding on an old kit. I too have a soft spot for the QFs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeneK Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Nontas, Amazing work on that old tool. How has the model progressed? Gene K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nontas_337 Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Thank you STORM and Gene K for your nice words. The free time for modelling has been eliminated in the last past months , the model has progressed a little bit. The major assembling has been made. I have to add all the details of the QF version and to prepare it for painting. I work it together with the F-4S and the two Skyhawks. I hope I will have a new update soon.

aircommando130 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 That's gonna be awesome! One change though....NAVY=RIO/ Air Force=WSO Are you painting it up in Southeast Asia paint or the gray? Cheers...Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ikon Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Dashing in to take an available seat! Love the work in the 'pit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nontas_337 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Aircommando130 and Ikon thank you!! Aircommando130, yes you're right, WSO. 😀 I always forget it, because doing a USAF bird is a bit rare for me. Most of my models are USN birds. This will be in the Hill Gray paint scheme. The exact same bird is in the link below, 72-0166. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/5065/the-phantastic-qf-4-phantom-full-scale-target-drone-takes-its-phinal-unmanned-phlight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
