BloorwestSiR Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 I also finished off the exhaust section with the final piece of trim and made sure the burner cans were lined up. As it is, they are a press fit with no glue of any sort holding them in place. Last one for tonight.I painted the insides of the canopy frames. I will then attach them to the canopies with Gator Glue. The cockpit and canopies are all that`s left now.

BloorwestSiR Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Here are the ejection seats in their rightful places. I then glued on the the windscreen and the centre section. I've decided to leave the canopies loose so that they can be removed if desired. And how she looks now that she's completed. This was a nice straightforward build for me. I know I didn't correct all the issues with the kit but I'm happy with the results. This is the third short nosed Phantom I've done now. All the rest in the stash are gun nosed ones (which has always been my favourite version) so after a break, I think I'll get back to my old G conversion.

BloorwestSiR Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Thanks everyone! I originally didn't have any interest in building a D until Speedhunter came out with the decals for this version. I remember seeing the actual plane back in 1988 in London (and getting a really bad sunburn doing so) and that was as good as a reason as I needed. Here are some "better" shots I took. The lighting probably isn't the greatest but at least it's an uncluttered background. With this build, I've finished one build in the each of the last three I've participated in. That being said, I'll be sitting out the current one as I don't have anything suitable and want to clear some unfinished projects.

CLEAN Congrats and love the markings Hope the sunburn turned tan!! :rofl: :rofl: Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks everyone. I was worried as to where I'd put it now that it was complete, but it just fits in our IKEA cabinet. Which means an F4E won't. Jack, I can't recall if the burn turned into a tan or not. I do remember it was only the back of our necks from facing one direction watching the flying part of the airshow.
