I think I’m all caught up now with posting completed models. I’ve had this kit in the stash for a while and finally finished it late last year. It’s built completely box stock except for Quickboost resin seats. Finished with Gunze paints and some light weathering.
Love the Rhino, as a former Marine instructor once said" It’s a mans aircraft".
Yours looks great Ole, I particularly like the weathering behind the exhaust, very well done.
Very nice paintwork

Very nice model. That finish is great. Not too overdone.
Beautiful!
Love it!
Phabulous, dude!
Very nice build! Your effort really paid off.

That is one great looking Phantom. To say that the camo came out great would be an understatement, but like ‘Armornut’ mentioned the weathering aft of the afterburners and the job you did on the underbelly really puts this one over the top. Also ALL the decals look great.
Sweet!
Absolutely superb! The colors laid down so smooth. That paint is sweet under magnification. Well done ordnance for sure - you’ve got her loaded for bear.
Exquisite, and very well photographed.
Beautiful job [Y]
thanks all for your awesome comments!
That’s an awesome Phantom, Ole! Have always been partial towards Phantoms in this camo scheme. You really did a great job on this.
Was the kit supplied seats not so good that you swapped them with resin seats? Asking as I am sort of interested in getting this Tamiya Phantom.
I’m really loving your work [Y][Y]
Phantastic bent tail.
Have the C/D kit doing as Ritche’s ride at Udorn. Actually worked on that one when I was there in '73.
Thanks again all!
The original seats did not include seatbelts, and in this scale, especially with the open canopies, it would stand out too much. I think the resin option was better than PE seat belts. I used PE last time I built this one, but that was full cockpit details.
Thanks for the information! [Y]
She’s a beauty! Love those Phantoms!
