Grant_T Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) I'm switching my entry to this after the MiG-23 started to become complicated and seemed like too much work. I just want a simple build, and Revell's Phantom (for all its faults) seems like the kit. I've made a start. I'll be doing the orange tailed bird because it appeals to me.

Dutch Man Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Nice choice. I have the same set for a future build. Robert Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant_T Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 This kit is going together really quickly and I'm enjoying it a lot. It is typical Revell, quite simple with nice fine detail in places but a complete lack of detail in others. There are some ugly gaps behind the intakes and the cockpit will need a bit more work. I've used minimal filler so far but there are a couple of spots that will need some.

mozart Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 That’s looking impressive already Grant, can’t wait to see more! Grant_T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevepd Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 What a great colour scheme in our scale. I never knew that existed for 1/32!. This should be good. Grant_T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Man Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'm building the same kit and my experiences are very positive. Fit is ok and with some attention to detail one can make a stunning model out of it. Looking sharp Grant. Would be interesting to see what color brand you choose for the scheme. I was looking at the Hataka Paint sets to match that with Mr. Color. I'm getting nuts with the water based paints over here. Humidity and Heat don't make them work for me.

Hi Robert, I'm going to have to mix the colours from Tamiya acrylics as that's all I use. Hopefully I should be able to get something close, but any tips would be appreciated!

Grant_T Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Getting close to paint. Probably some more filling here and there before then though. Uncarina, Landrotten Highlander, Gazzas and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
