USMC Herc Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I was lucky enough to get this kit as a already started kit for $10 usd. This will be gifted to a great friend who brought me back into the hobby. I am so glad I have Chucks recent build to use as a reference. I am going to try my first metal finish so wish me luck. I will build her wheels up to look like the rocket she is. Will use a pilot from a Tamiya kit. This is the box but does not have the Decals so i will be using aftermarket.

themongoose Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I’m so sorry to hear this. I made up a set of masks for him last year and he was excited about doing this F-4 phantom. We chatted every once in a while since then. He even sent me part of the plane so i could set up the size and make sure they laid out correctly. I will have to get those masks out and build it for him as a tribute. Thanks for letting us know. chris Uncarina and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Horrible news. I chatted on occasion with him and he seemed like a really good guy. It's weird, I've never met him but this still hits hard. Sad day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
