I finally finishing a big real-world project:  MiG-23

Now I need a carefree build. So I'm building Fujimi's Phantom in RAN markings, inspired by Gekko's awesome profile (thanks Richard). Hoping to start the kit tonight. Will post as things progress.

That same profile is on my 'To Do' list.  Cant wait to see your progress on this one!!
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

That's a sweet looking profile! Never thought about an Aussie Navy phantom. Looking forward to watching this one take shape.

This is kind of a blah update. Got most of the kit put together this afternoon (I'm not breaking my neck to detail the hell out of this one). Not much to see yet. Hoping to have paint on it tomorrow. Things should get more interesting then.

Took today off, so I managed to get the final two shades of gray on the Phantom. The colors aren't 100% accurate for the RAN (I guess, but this is a what-if forum), but they look good to me.

Looking very good, love the cammo colours, make it look very maritime.

That is a nice camo scheme :wub:

Is it based on a genuine RAN scheme?

It's based on schemes seen on the RAN's A-4s around 1980.

I did get a wee heads-up on this one.... looks even better than I imagined, and I have a good imagination ! This is going to be a true 'winner' I just know it. Keep the pics coming, David.
