alain11 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Hi gents What about another Phantom ?? it's my fourth in a row, I think I’ve been bitten by the virus ........ So ,here is my last one, a conversion of the Tam's J to the S version, 1/32 scale, VF 161 "Charger" I like this squadron marking.....Do you? ...the blessed time of colorful squadron markings in the US Navy..... A little bit of scratch built , some AM stuffs, namely "Black box" cockpit, "Sparkit" seats (a must have), "Aerocraft models for the clear parts (one block frame / canopy easier than the Tam's solution) .Some Eduard's etched parts, and then, the slatted outer wings from "Wingman". I encountered fit issues with this set, the teeth of the hinge don't correspond to the kit part, the engraving is "soft", the parts are a bit bent etc....... and much more... That makes me wonder:" but ... what a hell, I didn't choose to build the J instead of the S ...it would have made my life easier" ... too bad ... All main markings have been painted (except the small stencils.. ) .... ZM listed 16 different points from the J to the S version, I believe I did the job ...so here we go.. enjoy,.... or not..... thank you for watching cheers Alain * Edited February 5 by alain11 Daniel Leduc, chaos07, Cheetah11 and 30 others 31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaos07 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Nothing wrong with another rhino! Great execution. I've got some of those Sparkit seats in the stash, and they look impressive in the raw form, from what I can see in your build they are worth having. Excellent pfinal product! alain11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
