The build was enjoyable with no fit issues (other than the delicate fiddly parts you need to be careful in handling it)

Turned out nice! Good looking Phantom - and I couldn't imagine doing all those stencils in 1/72
Thanks,

Very beautiful build!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

That came out awesome. I have to say though that all those stencils break up the one color camo nicely

Well done Tom! She fought you a bit here and there, but in the end, you took charge and got the last laugh. That’s a fine addition to your scale flight line.

Re: British Phantom FGR.2 "Firebirds"
Thank you, fellas. I've grown to lovwe the lines of these Phantoms. Rest assured, there will be a few added to my stash and collection. Now if I can find a suitable F-4 Phantom to build a Turkish Terminator Phantom. Too bad Rex isn't still around to point me in the right direction. I miss him guy and his knowledge.

The Terminators differences are mostly internal

Re: British Phantom FGR.2 "Firebirds"
Exactly. Start with a late production F-4E in your favorite scale, and most of the rest of the details are internal. At most for visible stuff will be changes in the cockpit. It’s up to you to decide if those cockpit changes are worth tackling.

Re: British Phantom FGR.2 "Firebirds"
So.. all I needed was to get an F-4E ? Easy enough. ZM has one but a bit out of my price range. Hasegawa has them but I'll have to look in eBay. An RF-4E probably wouldn't fit the bill anyway.
