« on: June 14, 2013, 05:53:25 PM »
she's been gathering dust on the bench for nearly a year and a half now, so yesterday i kinda forced myself into finishing this build, in order to clear up the workbench for bigger upcoming projects.

the kit is a 1/72 Hasegawa F-4F Phantom, decals are from a revell 1/72 F-16B.
weapons and inert pylons are from a revell F-4F.







on the bench:
-various models

on the drawing board:
-various 1/72 TinTin aircraft
-1/72 Eurocopter Tiger (Belgian Army)
-various other 1/72 and 1/144 aircraft

Yes, very believable. Those markings look just right on the Phantom  :)

Very, very nice!

The Phantom would have been a natural for the Netherlands. Skip the F-5, nice as it is, and have a mixed F-104 and F-4 fleet.
