Man, this is a fantastic build &, if you look at it subjectively, you really only worked on it for about 6 months.

Brother, if I could create something that beautiful in 6 years I'd be a happy man.

I takes me over 6 months to build a tank! Even then I have to hide the faults under battle damage, mud & weathering.

I'm ever not been able to calculate with precision the time spent building a my WhatIf....
Recently, I have taken this behavior: I begin the whatif until at the stage of to  paint it,
Then I start to recalculate.
Rethink.
This happen because the camo don't like me more,  worse, with the paint applied I see a lot of before unseen defects, and at the end the model is victim of a temporary nightfall.

Gorgeous ! What a neat looking aeroplane.....got all sorts of shapes and curves to keep a man interested  Awesome job on the paint as well. All those colours look great .

Probably the my "Elegant Phantom" could have look well also with the first camo version  , the "desert version", but I don't like it in that way, I was unable to imagine it completed well with the desert camo. Not one real air force has never used that camo's type, if I remember well, so it was too out of time.

The truth was that in the beginning, before to start the conversion, I was determined to paint it in gray 36118 as the moderns F-15Es but the camo was too simple, probably not so beautiful. Who knows.

The old Vietnam camo can be applied on a lot of aircrafts models  without to be out of place: so is happened to the my F-415.
