[:)]Hi everyone,
I’ve finally finished my hasagawa phantom. I’ve tried in vain to post pictures on the forum and after two hours of fustration I gave up[V].
If anyone fancies a look, it’s in Ron’s Gallery in the upload album.
Hope you like it,
Darren.[;)]
Here it is, TANGO 1. Its a beautiful build. Did you copy the URL correctly from the pic ?
This is TANGO 1’s model. I just posted it for him, to see if it works.
Thanks Pix,
I tried inserting the correct url between the tags and nothing happpened.?. I kept on trying for ages! I had to give up as it was too fustrating!
Anyhow, very considerate of you to help me out. Thanks very much for posting my model for me. I’m a happy chap now!
Regards,
Darren
You’re welcome, TANGO ! I don’t know when you last posted pics, but after the rongeorge, its albums/uploadhere/ then your pic #. You also need to include the “sized.” I saw all the pics. Beautiful scheme. Is that paint or decals on the drop tanks? Whichever it is, it looks difficult but well done. Hope you get the rest of the pics of this beauty up for all to enjoy !
[:D]I’ll have another go at posting more pics later. If everyone can do it I should be able to[:o)]
Thats a couple of decals wrapped around the drop tank, and yes it was tricky![:0] I had to do a lot of trimming due to the curves. I’ve only seen a few models with this scheme and when I saw the Hasagawa kit with those decals inside the box, I had to give it a try. If you’re ever going to do that scheme,buy plenty of microsol-you’ll need it[:D][:D]
Later,
Darren.
[:D][:D]YES YES YES !! At last I’ve learnt how to post an image here!!
Here’s some more…[8D]
Hope you like 'em[:I]

Great job, Darren! Very colorful. You did an outstanding job on a very difficult hi-vis theme. Encore!

That is absolutely gorgeous! Love those multi-colored F-4’s!
THAT IS ONE OF BEST PHANTOMS …PERIOD!! ABSOLUTLY GORGEOUS!
Really a beaut!! I love a Corps bird. Jeez, now yer making me want to build a Phantom.
Thanks for posting that awesome Phantom! It’s a real looker, great subject and a great paint scheme.
Now it’s back to work on my ol’ olive drab/neutral gray warbirds for me, thanks for the colorful distraction! I’ll think I’ll add invasion stripes now, and maybe…:).

minutes to buy, hours to build-
Great looking Phantom. I like the finish. Just one question. Why did you put the inboard pylons on the outboard station?
[:I][:)]Thanks everybody for your kind words!
Berny, you got me! [:o)] I was using a reference photo of someone elses model who had installed the pylons in that manner. I have to admit I didn’t notice the difference until you mentioned it.
Looks like I goofed up on that one[#oops][(-D] !
Still, I think it’s looks nice that way…[:o)]

Very nice, Darren!
Hey Tango,
Phabulous Phantom my phriend…!!![:p][;)]. The over all appearance is very nice for a Navy bird[:p](sorry dad)
Is that the Hasegawa kit and did you use any after market stuff for the interior/exterior??
Again a job well done.
Phlaps up, Mike
Phantoms Phoever…
Darren, it is beautiful! Well done. Thanks for sharing!
[swg] Hey J-hulk, Domi ,Butz
Many thanks for your kind words[:I]
The kit is a 1/48 F-4S by Hasagawa. It came with a few bits of etched metal to make the “S” type and they included seperate slats for the wings. I added the Eduard photo etch set to improve the details. The bulk of this stuff went on the cockpit and canopy frames. I did’nt use all of the exterior parts as I felt they were not needed on this kit. The rest of the kit went together as normal except the decals. That was a long night[zzz][zzz] but worth it![^]

Great looking Phantom, Darren…Please don’t tell us you only spent 12.5 hours including research on it!..
