Nice figure! Had some influence on your avatar, eh?

long time no Phantom build, so I have to build more

Academy F-4B, Decals from Super Scale, VMFA-323 Death Rattlers; Chu Lai Air Base; Vietnam 1967

Beautifully done, CL!

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.

That is just a great build of a great plane!

Looking very good Cherrylock!

thanks for your words

Hasegawa F-4J; VMFA-212 Lancers, 1975; Decals Superscale

Wow!

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?

thanks Blacksheep and mostrich

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...

Beautiful, such colourful F-4´s! Are those going to Friedrichshafen in October?
