DonH 1,282 Posted April 28 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. 1 Out2gtcha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAWS 101 Posted May 3 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! 4 Out2gtcha, LSP_Kevin, Gazzas and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JAWS 101 Posted May 12 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. 1 nmayhew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MGySgt0372 181 Posted September 16 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.
