Pierre's Phantom F-4E Peace Icarus


Recommended Posts

Jan 13, 2005

Gents,

From now on I will posts all my Phantom progress reports into a single thread. It should be easier for you to catch up.

To start with, my latest work on the custom etched parts. The read cockpit received its instrument panel. I folded a MFD box, added an acetate "glass", a cardstock GPS map and soldered it closed. Then came the tiny LED, stuck into the box, and "LUX FUIT". Hurray, it works :D

As usual, photos for your viewing pleasure.

Cheers,

Pierre

Photo 1. General view of the rear c/p. Note that the instrument panel - except the MFD box - is a single piece, multi-folded into this 3D apparence. It was tricky to design it.

Pierre, have you thought about publishing your work? Outside of ARC, I mean. Any magazine would go nuts over your stuff. Or have you already, and I simply haven't seen your work yet? It would be criminal for the world not to see this!

OK dude...

Put the model down and no one gets hurt!

step away from the miniature aircraft parts!

You're a danger to modelers everywhere, Pierre. When you're done we aren't going to be able to come up with anything that compares.

Impressive. Most impressive.

looking forward to the finished product.

This is unbelievable....

Pierre, you are not a modeller, you are a madman. WE are modellers; YOU are in a different class.

If we were flying planes, I would be in the P-36 and you would be flying the F-18.

Keep up the amazing work, and be sure to keep all the "mortal" modellers posted on this project.

:blink: :beer4:

OMFG!

Now I know why you call yourself "Madman".

I could have told you earlier when he did the other Phantom last year, not to mention the Airbus...! :beer4:

Pierre, again a very excellent build and pretty innovative! You´re about to reinvent modelling and give it a new dimension! Absolutely stunning! :blink:

"nice" its not enough to express the !%!$· very good job you are doing pierre

*********ography in modelling? Like uhm...doing it yourself is more fun than watching others doing it? ;) Ok, nothing to see here, guys, go and build your own ones :unsure:
