Arrrrrrrrrr! Me hearties

[nev]

Geoff, I tend to do an hour or two in the evening sat in the kitchen listening to the radio.  That, and the fact that since Isaac was born I've not had the time to do all the stuff I want to do, so my Xbox has hardly been used the last 6 months, meaning that I've concentrated almost exclusively on modelling.

Chris, happy to hear you're getting that Hunter - you'll not be disapointed

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!  :ar:  :ar:  :ar:  :ar:  :ar:  :ar:

I guess I should also point out the obvious fact that she's not in jolly rogers markings.........  :ar:

The kit came with 2 decal sheets.  The VF-84 ones were horrible and matt and had no glue on them and so didn't stick to anything.  So I had to use the other sheet which was nice and glossy and went on lovely

Looking good, Nev !

A beautiful job on a beautiful aeroplane....dead sexy !

What scale is it ? 72nd ? Or is that 380 box that big ?

[Joe C-P]

The F-4 is definitely not sexy , unless you like two-baggers (one for her/him and one for you in case the first bag rips) . But it's a cool airplane, the triumph of thrust over aerodynamics.  B)

5 models, eh? I have six models on my workspace, in different phases of completion. Two of them are virtually complete, and just need me to sit down and do about 10-15 minutes work.   Another one is just waiting a few parts, and a fourth is ready to be mounted and rigged. The last two are still a-buildin'. I try to model, but have to suffer my TV-addicted wife's    contant pleas to come watch the idiot box.  
"Here, you'll want to see this."
"Come sit with me and talk!"
"Don't you want to be with me?"

And in the same hobby room the larger part is dedicated to her scrapbooking hobby, which she hasn't touched in months.    One of these days I'm calling to cancel our cable subscription.  

Anyway, enough whining. Cool plane! Great job building it!

Yep, 1/72.  The A380 box is about the same size as a typical 1/32 jet fighter box  

The F-4 is definitely not sexy

Heretic!!  Burn him!!!

Heretic!!  Burn him!!!

WOT THE FECK?!?!?!?!?    

NOT SEXY?!?!?!?  ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!?

If mounting an aircraft wasn't taboo, I'd scrog a Phantom any day!

My Phantom days are long past and they have all gone to plastic heaven...but  a man just cant pass up a golden opportunity to bring out the old PHamily album.

[The Rat]

Beauty one Nevster! And Phantoms aren't pretty, nor are they ugly, they're Phantoms, in a class by themselves.    

[John Howling Mouse]

Look at that fantastic decalling job, too!
