Yeah yeah, sure, whatever, now give us the important detail, what's in the glass in the background?

Chimay....a lovely beer brewed by the Trappist Monks over there in Belgium. It's one of those re-fermented in the bottle beers.

Yummy !

Looking good Toad!!

Can't wait to see the whole line-up!!

     

[Captain Canada]

Hey Ollie !

Yeah, the line-up in the styrene cave is starting to look pretty impressive ! Once these two are done, I'm thinking of a few more specials, as well as maybe a Snowbird example. Now wouldn't that be a treat for the boys if the CAF let 'em fly Phantoms for a season or two ?!

Any other ideas out there ? I may be running out !

Lookin' good Toad!

What about all those special Hornet schemes?  You could put a few of them on the F-4s!!!

     

[Captain Canada]

I was kinda thinking of those, but I'm not a real big fan of them. I might do the 75th bird, as it was pretty sweet, also, I'd like to do one in the new AETE colours.

Merci pour le entree, mon ami !

Toad...having no clue how to accent est gou on a computer !

Try modeling after a glass of the "Triple Brewed" stuff !

So, are we ever going to get a look at the dorsal side or did you forget to paint the topside, Toad?

(Well, I did notice the beer on deck...anything's possible, eh?)

C'mon you tease!

Hi Todd

How about getting Revells Re-release of the British Phantom and doing a RCN version or maybe it in 5 Sqdn RAF crossed deployed to Canada to support the Norad Air defence screen (Possibly in a special scheme with a full colour tail sporting a large green 5 and a Red Maple Leaf).

That the sort of idea your looking for, should look different from the rest of the conventional line up. Or you could get brave and convert one to the Phantom HL with an extended fusleage and reshaped wings for use on smaller carriers.

Cheers

    What about British  Spey F-4Ks (or the USN equivalent F-4T...unbuilt) to operate from RCN Carriers?
A whole range of schemes:

The "original" two-tone grey as on the Banshees and Sea Furies, et al.

A USN variation with big roundels instead, but Gull Grey over White?

A RN sheme, Dark Grey over white?

Low-viz USN/USMC type?

Midnight Blue?

Aggressor type?

Hi guys,

I've come too far with all these F-4Js to do a Spey powered job. I ws thinking about it, tho ! I saw a Revell new-release boxing at my local store....56 bucks ! Ouch ! I could get three Testors kits for that, and judging by the photos on the box, it's of similar quality.

I'd like to do an RF example...any kits of it in 48th ?

Also, an aggressor sounds good...never thought of that one !
