This is my second build in the past month or so. Also my second using a airbrush. I'm getting the hang of it, but still a lot to learn.
As for this kit....terrible. A lot of excess plastic on the sprues, ill fitting parts, also some missing parts. I contacted Testor's, but was told this kit is no longer made, therefore, no replacement parts.
All things considered....I'm pretty happy with it. As you can see, sometimes I veer away from the norm with my paint schemes.
She'll be ready to hang in the next couple of days!

I think I built that kit when I was around 13 or 14 years old and I seem to remember having more trouble out of it than I did other kits of that day. Looking forward to pictures!

The pics are there...the Flickr link.
Don't know what happened but the link wouldn't work the first time I clicked on it. Looks good all things considered. Great paint.
I could have been editing it. I added a pic of the belly where there was a huge gap to start with.
What a crappy kit though..... If you look close you can see the cockpit glass doesn't match up....the center piece between the pilots was warped...I was afraid of breaking it trying to get it to span the width to mount...did the best I could.
Overall, considering all the issues...I'm happy with it though.
Despite the kit's flaws, oddly it looks like an F-4!
Nice work!

Thanks....!
I put more work that it should have required...but I'm happy with it.

You should be. That's a nice phantom.

Nice work on a pig's ear to make a decent double ugly. I like to camo scheme you did.
Worked on the Rf's, D's and E's back in the day.
Thanks!
Trying to decide on my next build....hmmmmmmmmmmm.
