Rusty Trusty F-4S Phantom II PART 2 1/48 Completed.

Thanks for the compliments!

well done I like the low vis paint and weathering.

First, that turned out to be an impressive model, second, that is an impressive collection of Phantoms!

Beautifully done.  Got to love a Phantom loaded out for either air-to-air or air-to-mud.  Worked on a lot of them in my time in the USAF, many, many moons ago.

Finished the Phantom II. VMFA-333 "THE SHAMROCKS" MCAS Beaufort 1985-1986.

Hasagawa Kit, Seamless intakes from Rhino,Eduard Zoom photoetch set for the cockpit, MAW and Two Bob's decals.The AOA probe and Pitot probes are turned brass parts from Master Model.

These Hasagawa Phantoms are a challenge for me. Only seven left in the stash........

In her new home next to the "Vigialante" Phantom II.

Thank you ! I spent the day wrestling with the Rhino. Getting close.

Might get some shop time tomorrow. Thanks for checking in.

What a fantastic job you've done.  This is exceptional work!

Awesome! Excellent subject. I built the same kit a year or so ago. I love TPS Phantoms!!

Thanks! 

 I have been painting ......

Thanks for checking in.

Shoot!! Forgot - Great work on the Phantom!! Looks great!

VMFA-333 was stationed at Iwakuni, Japan, back in 1989, flying F-18s at the time. The slang name for the squadron was "Trip Trey". Got to see those Hornets do some really awesome flying while I was stationed there.

Everything looks fantastic.  I will be definitely following!

Wow, Stephen! That's looking really good! I love the added details to the back of the Rios IP. That really gives it some interest.  :)

More work completed on the F-4S.

I wanted to "try" and add some depth to the back side of the RIO's instrument panel. 

I also started to preshade the model. .I have been working on the ordinance. The decals on the missiles are from Two Bob's.

Thanks for checking in.

Cheers.
