ChuckT Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Hi there. I have a Tamiya F4J coming to me on a slow boat from Hong Kong and in the mean time I thought it would be good to start gathering reference materials. Any recommendations? I'm looking for something with lots of detail pictures. Thanks in advance, C. Edited June 2, 2017 by ChuckT F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thud_Ally Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I have all 3 MDF books and they are pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Airfixer Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 IMHO, one of the best references around... http://www.dacoproducts.com/KDCB004.php Harold, LSP_K2, F`s are my favs and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggyfoos Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 IMHO, one of the best references around... Seconded for the DACO book. Since you're looking only for detail pics, that book alone should cover all you really need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luca Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 also this book is GREAT: I still have to order the DACO uncovering instead... LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckT Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 That does look good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 And further recommendations for the DACO book (a worthy and complementary companion the Jake M,'s USAF Phantoms tome) and the Double Ugly book, although the latter is stronger on portraits rather than detail shots. Well known and appreciated photographer for the model world, Bill Spidle also had a collection relating to the reconstruction of QF-4S 153821 Scooby, which would be helpful in some respects for a Juliet model, which I had thought was on the PrimePortal site, but no longer seems to be there. Perhaps someone may correct my possibly faulty mermory (it was over 10 years ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyDoo Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I didn't know Patrick had released the US Navy Phantom book! Here is Bill Spidle's walk around: http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/qf-4s_oba.htm Of course I'd know where Scooby was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Thanks Scooby! I'd downloaded the photo batches years ago, but couldn't find them again when wanting to tell someone about them. So thanks for stepping in and supplying the link. It should teach me that deteriorating eyesight and late nights aren't a successful mix, but probably won't. But regardless of all that, Bill's photos illustrate a lot of Phantom detail that's hard to find elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
