Re: 1:48 Phantom Phamily
Beautifully done, CL!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: 1:48 Phantom Phamily
Lovely Phantom! I just found two recon Phantoms while cleaning things out. I might just have to start them now, once I get my room squared away.

Re: 1:48 Phantom Phamily
I'm still planning the build of my first Phantom. And now look at you... 
Great builds, Cherry. Did you build these two simultaneously? And is there a clear winner in terms of buildability between Hase and Academy?

I started the Academy I think 1 year ago, but take it to the shelf, with all the F-16 I would build some different and something I know..
The Academy is diffrent to build, both can be improved, nozzle and seats are both bad, Academy has bad wheels (I used the Hasegawa!)
Academy has the ladder and the refueling probe and more weapons, if this is impotend for your build.
Academy has rivets on the strúcture, Hasegawa not
Hasegawa has the standard warning markings like troop markings, Academy has the full industial markings (without door numbering)
so what do you want, Hasegawa fast and easy and cheap, or more detail for more money with Academy but more work to build
time to go to the assembly line and build a F-4EJ Kai and a RF-4ETM...lot to to...
