WOW!!! 

Just perfect!

[Old Wombat]

Everyone before me has said it all. Fantastic work, mate!

[NARSES2]

Brilliant stuff 

[TheChronicOne]

Hell. YEAH!

I really dig it. I've always loved the Phantom and admittedly get a little bit put off every time someone calls it "ugly."          It's not the "prettiest" thing but there's just something about it that looks so very cool to me. I think it has to do with the all the angles of the surfaces...  the stabs point 'down,' instead of horizontal, the wing tips point 'UP'... instead of horizontal....   all together it just comes together as a cool machine. You've done a tremendous job of it, not only in choosing subject matter, but with execution and photography as well.

I'd call the 'Toom "ruggedly handsome".

I'd call the 'Toom "ruggedly handsome".

Certainly a purposeful beast

I'd call the 'Toom "ruggedly handsome".

That works for me! I'll remember that.

Having consulted my thesaurus, can I offer the words purposeful, assertive and determined?........even aggressive.

This is rather like the discussion we had about the looks of the Mosquito and the Beaufighter........... the Mosquito would pour you a drink and the Beaufighter would smash the bottle over your head

Thats just wrong,
It is UGLY. Rhino works though, still Ugly but you wouldnt want to make it cross or even Vexed...
YMMV though. (I've always wanted to write that accronym )

**All the above is written with tongue firmly in cheek

     It's certainly......    beastly.

Another real world 1/32 scale Phantom build ready for display. This time F-4J(UK) ZE352 which in another life time was the famous USN `Black Bunny` from VX-4 Squadron.

The section of structure is from the intake from the original aircraft of which the front end survives and will be restored in due course.
