1/32 TAMIYA RAF PHANTOM 'BLACK MIKE' (COMMISSION)

[Robertjon5]

Hi guys. I think this is where you should post this. got a TAMIYA F-J built shamrocks off ebay for £75 posted! as decals were shot on one side. so I have a guy who builds my models called ALISTAIR PAICE aka ICARIS on Britmodeller. at same time I noticed another Tamiya kit on ebay with added Alcock + Brown decals. so I asked Alistair if he could change it to this. he said ok. then I found out IFA were doing a proper spey phantom. so decided to wait till the spey phantoms came out, and decide what to do with this one. so I thought black mike. only problem none had been done apart from wild hare. which is rare as hens teeth! and not cheap!! so as a long shot I put a wanted thread here. and lo and behold RICK, aka SPOOKY56 said he had some which he was never going to use and said I could have for free!! well finally the model arrived today. and another great job Alistair has done again. he has also done 4 x 1/48 Raf phantoms too. and will be doing the 2/3 spey phantoms I will be getting too. so with a huge, HUGE thank you to Rick for the decals, here she is!!!!

Always nice to see a large toom and Black Mike is certainly a stand-out scheme.

 

F4-Js were only flown by 74 squadron (not 111) but it looks great in this scheme anyway. 

 

Can't wait to see your next Phantom!

Thanks! yes I know the f4j only flew in grey. but I prefer camo colours best. with that and the HK models costing a bomb I got Alistair to do me an RAF phantom last year. he did the decals by upscaling from 3 1/48 camo's he did for me earlier with my initials R,J, + W on them. he also did an A+B too. I bought the kits for around £40. and sent to him to build for £60.
