Thanks again everyone. Glad to be of some help. I have given the cockpit a wash using Mig oil Shadow Brown, and then flat coated with Vallejo Matt Varnish. I've glued in the cockpit tub to one side, and also showed a piece of plastic sprue where the instrument panel coaming will go. This piece will help hold the coaming in place.
Chasing the ultimate build.
Spooky would like a few words with you.
I'm counting on you!
Thanks Seasick. Fuselage is glued together. I'm working on a few seams. Pics coming soon. ...I hope this build doesn't take 1000 Hours
Pit looks great Nathan!!

Alright...time to bring this build back out of hibernation. Fuselage seams have had some minor cleanup. Updates heading this way...
Glad to be here for the restart.

How have I missed this one? Man, you are really doing nice work there. I love the Phantom, it is without question my Fave jet. I need to dig out my Sundowner and get it going soon.

Nathan T Ahh, gee. Pressure's on now. Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend...
So, after a bit of a pause..., This one is finally done! I ended up using Speed Hunter Decals and a pair of Eduard AGM-88 Harms. Hope you all enjoy and feel free to ask and comment away!
Phantastic.
we're modelers it's what we do
Love it! Anything from the 52nd Fighter Wing is OK in my book.
We live in fame or go down in flame.
Beautiful paint there!! Phrighteningly beautiful! =D

Nathan, how do you feel about the over application of decals on the Phantom considering the 1:48 scale? In other words...considering how certain details aren't always so visible or shouldn't stand out so harshly. Thoughts...?
Nice looking Phantom! Great work!

Thanks guys. Good to see you all checking in here.
Bvallot- do you mean what do I think about all the stencils seen on many Navy Phantoms? I guess I always do a thorough check of references and try and find the exact bird I want to model, or if not find one in the same squadron or wing around the same era. Some really did have hundreds that really stand out in photos. I do think a good mist coat over the stencils to help tone them down is probably a good idea in 1/48 scale. Most Hill Gray Phantom's had mininmal stencils, so it wasn't an issue in this particular build.
What a Phantastic Phinish! Great job on this build, dePhinately worth the wait!
..............and there aint a thang wrong with that!!! I've been watching these aircraft come together on other forums and they look like they come together fairly nicely. You did 'er proud with this one Nathan.
Thanks Joe! No real problems with this build. Just a big plane and work on fitting the ordinance and the jammer pod up front took some time, as did the weathering...like always
That looks awesome Nathan! Love the finish on this bird!
Now that is very nice. I really like the finish.
But, just one thing...... A bit of a pause
You sure your not English.
