F-4F Phantom

[Justin Wooding]

Hi chaps,

Something i finished last year and one of my favourite jets! I did this more as a masking excercise than anything else. This was an old Testors kit rebranded under the Italeri logo. It was pretty terrible. So i filled and sanded everything, even the panel lines (reminiscent of a Himilayan mountain range) got sanded off. I just wanted the very basic awesome shape of the F-4 Phantom

I know, i know, it's not a tank, but thanks for looking

Really really nice Woody.

Is it 1/48?

[Justin Wooding]

Hi Matt, thanks, yes it is 1/48. My favourite scale for aircraft

[Philipp Gross]

Very nice

It could as well be a tank, considering the way the Luftwaffe used these things

(Very low and very fast. They also tried it with the Starfighter, with predictable results...)

Love it. I prefer aircraft models mounted as if they are in flight, it is their element after all!

As to the Starfighter, i don't think they nicknamed it 'the widowmaker' for no reason

Thanks Adam I agree with you, they do look good. Two other reasons i like is, you are not bothering with fiddly fragile landing gear and it can be a space saver in the cabinet as it raises the model above others. Gives you another level

That is very nice indeed Woody. Excellent work

Got to say Woody

You have many arrows in your quiver

Nice work
