Heres some pictures of the phantom I’m working on
Hi ya seanrgb4 …
Great shots of a really great a/c … looks like your build is going well! I hope you will keep us posted on your progress and share some pics when she is done … [swg]
Looking VERY nice - lovely finish so far !
sure will mate , its going a bit slow at the moment but i’m going to do lots on her tomorrow
Skii , unfortunately I’m rubbish with a airbrush , so i paint with a paint brush , but so far so good
Looks pretty good Sean. Keep us posted.
Regards, Rick
Sean, what scale is it? Is it the Tamiya 1/32 or gawa 1/48th?

Looks good the Phantom is one of my favorites I just started decalling my FGR2.
sean looks like you have a great start to me.

It’s a TAMIYA 1/32 , with yellowhammer decals , I’m doing the US equivalent color scheme on the plane ( same as the other one in my signature ) ,
at the moment I’m making slow progress ,
mkhoot nice looking FGR2 , is that a 1/48 hasewaga , got one of those in a blue special to do later on
anyway thanks guys for the comments
That paint job is simply amazing! You do a better job with a paint brush than I do with an air brush. Maybe I’d better “switch rather than fight.” [alien]
Very, very nice.
Love the cockpit!
I see they still haven’t managed to cure this strange addiction of yours Sean!!! [(-D][(-D][(-D]
thanks guys ,
yardbird78 i have to do some fine sanding but it comes out ok , well sort of , my main worry is when I have to varnish with dull coat , on the last one it still came out shiny [:(]
T-34 , I spent ages on the cockpit added some Eduard stuff , a few bits left over for the tellescope in the rear compartment
chrisjh666 LOL , The doctor assured me it will pass one day I just got to keep taking my medication [:D]
OH!!! I forgot to add , I’m using xtracolor enamels to paint the main parts , the cockpit was painted with humbrol enamels , and the wheels and under carraige where also painted with humbrol enamels , I’ll try put more pictures up today
Looks great, Sean!
wow Sean! looks good… especially the cockpit! And the hand brushing thing looks fabulous! Like tardbird said, I wish I could do that good with an airbrush!
Sean that is a nice looking build, i can’t believe you didn’t use an airbrush, the finish is stunning!!
Look forward to seeing it finished.

Thanks Sean it’s the Hasegawa 1/48. I’m using the Allmark decals to do one from 54 sq 1972.
Wow mate thats cool , i bought a blue special off a friend of mine , thats the next one i’m doing , looks impressive in its all blue livery [:D]
mind you the one your doing is cool , i think i can remember when i was a kid seeing them in the grey/ green camo
Hopefully when its finished , it will look like this one , despite the 908 number is actually ZE350 , before she was decommisined

Looks great, especially the cockpit! You definitely do a better job with a brush than I ever could. Make sure you post pictures of the finished project.
