JAWS Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Finally got it outside to paint, making a ton of progress-- I can't believe how much I've glued to the lower fuselage and still have Sidewinder and pylons, TERs, Aim-7s, ECM pod, and bombs . . .

DonH Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Nice progress! The red U/C doors are a nice contrast and not often seen in pictures or builds. Usually it is just boring white. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAWS Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 A lot of detail painting completed last night; radome is simply beautiful now that it's Gloss Black. The canopy sill and cockpit have seen some abuse! So much gloss white on that tail! Out2gtcha, Marcel111, MikeMaben and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Wow cool! It is really different with the two opposing colors on each side. JAWS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAWS Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 This afternoons update-- Loaded up the belly of the beast: missiles, bombs, ECM pod; now it's ready to inflict some damage. Tires, ladder, few other pieces installed too. I would provide a picture but all that gloss white made it hard to take a decent one. nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGySgt0372 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Artistic license with the red gear & inside gear doors? Gear is gloss white & only the edge of the inside of the gear doors is painted red. Also, Naval Phantoms did not use external ECM pods like the USAF. Just some friendly observations. Not bashing you. Respectfully. Semper Fi, Masterguns nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
