Marcel111 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Here she is, done! Thanks for the research support I've received for the build, especially from Jari. I seem to have lost my photographic skills, most of the pics are overexposed, in some the model appears a lot more patchy than she really is. I am really pleased with the way the hinge mechanism turned out, thanks again Severin. Here and there I used old-school detailing techniques, e.g. the fuel dump was done by squashing some brass tube in a vice to get the oval shape, then sawn off to correct length and worked into the trailing edge. Those Eduard photo-etch stencil masks are gems. Don't pay too much attention to the base, it's somewhat temporary since the end-game is to have this and an A-6B stand on a large Coral Sea base.

aircommando130 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Marcel...Great job on a Phabulous Phantom! The details and spot paint and weathering from being aboard ship are just perfect. You must have looked at a lot of pictures to get that down. I can smell the JP-4 around the burner cans! Will be a great combo with the A-6 when it's built!

Landrotten Highlander Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Wonderful work, took some time in finding this thread (was looking in SLP RFI section). Perhaps needs shifting to the proper section by moderators? Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx for noticing that, no idea how I managed to park this here, for sure a mistake, would be great if the moderators could shift it over to Ready For Inspection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Lovely job Marcel. It would be good to see this photographed under sunlight. The finish is uber realistic Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grissom Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Hi Marcel, That is a stunning model. It also happens to be finished in what I think is the best paint scheme ever seen on a Phantom. I live in hope that I will build a 1/32 VF-111 Phantom and if it turns out to be half as good as yours, I'll be happy.

Christa Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Jets seldom excite me Marcel. This model did. Superb work. Great diorama, simple (?) but effective and that is the heaviest, most used tow bar I have ever seen in this scale. Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Wow! Fantastic. I especially love the touches of corrosion control primer touch ups. It truly is a work of art. Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck540z3 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Wow Marcel, you really hit this one out of the park- again! I love all the subject specific details and paint "flaws" that match the real deal. Congrats! Cheers, Chuck Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
