Thank you for the kind comments Gang

Ive tinkered with my title again, you guys like? Adopting you two, well it would be a challenge and Im sure we'd cope, but you wouldnt wanna live here, modelling stuff is way too expensive

That ceiling is our Dining Room

Running out of airspace though

In place the Lunatics DO run the asylum

Hmmm a poiple X Wing, I like that, but I think Lou would say "Not enough Pink"

Anyways, Im orf to bed, more Phantom photos tomorrow (Wednesday)

Brian, if you can think of a better one then go for it

Small update, Port wing decalled completely topside, started on Port fuselage & EMI Pod is completed.
Thanks for looking

Looking good Bex. I like the shark mouth on the pod.

Thanks Ed

Once Ive finished the Sideys Im going to do a dry fit of all the underside stores so I'll nab some photos of it, hopefully it will look even better together

Nice Phantom Bex

I've always wondered why the RAF didn't buy F-4E's when they bought up those few S's just after the Falklands, I'd of thought the gun in place would have been a bonus for down there.

Thanks Kitnut

Why they went for the J's I have no idea, Id have thought the integral nose gun would have been better

Sidewinders now done on a home made lolly stick pair of rails

Thanks for looking

I see you really did have a "spare mouth" laying around! Looks great and I really like your detail painting on the Sidewinders!

Wow very cool.

How do you paint stripes on missles so straight

The missle head is matt black and is done with masking tape, but the yellow & black bands are decals

Thanks for the kind comments Gang

Hola, Bexy!!!

Glad to find this beautiful Phantom here!!!

The camo and markings look great, and as I said, your use of wood chips here and there, ad much to this build.

Gorgeous!!!

Yep, those added shark mouths are the best....STS and I might just have to pinch that idea (of course, his will end up being purple, orange and lime green).

Keep it coming, Bex.

That pod is good enough by itself - hurry up and finish the rest.

Regards,

Greg

Thanks for the great response everyone

JHM & STS, so which idea are you thinking of pinching then?

Greg, I know its taking a while, but, Ive got most of the decals done port side, apart from the nose area. Until I get the Sqn Markings I cant do the underside fuselage or fit the stores

ont get much of it done today, as Ive got to finish a Vulcan for delivery tomorrow
