11bee Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Year long build of an 8th TFW F-4C with one of those crazy early SEA paint jobs. List of aftermarket bits and scratch built details is too long to type up. The real thing. Note the dozen or two colors of the early SEA paintjob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircommando130 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 That's an awesome Phantom! That southeast asia heat and humidity would really fade that paint. Then touchup paint never matched. It definately looks different with the wings folded. Has the early ejection seats and 750 pound bombs and just looks the part of the air war in Vietnam. The Phantom has always said "badass airpower" Great job! Cheers...Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Geoff M Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Excellent job. You always put a lot of detail into your builds and they come out looking great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichB63 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Great looking Phantom! Clearly, a lot of effort and attention to detail went into this build. It paid off handsomely. Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cruiz Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Great job; the worn look on the paint along with the stains round up an amazing finish. The detailing of the seats and cockpit and a interesting choice of ordnance also add up to a great model, thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Contrary to popular belief, the USAF did fold the wings on their F-4's a fair amount (although to be honest, the vast majority of pics I've found are of F-4C/D's). Figured I'd do something a bit different while at the same time, reducing shelf space a bit. Building this in 32nd scale makes one realize how absolutely massive these jets were.
