1/48 Tamiya F-110A Spectre

F-104nut · Sep 10, 2021

Now that Fundekals has released a decals sheets of the first F-4's flown by USAF . Time to start on my second Tamiya Phantom. So while USAF was waiting for C model to be produced McDonnell made a Few F-4B's and painted them in USAF markings so the air force could start trining the pilots. Plus the F-110A's also did numeruous testing . Missiles , nose and main gear basys pirmered with mrbase white 1000. The intakes was sprayed with mrbase white 1000 once gone sprayed with Tamiya Lacquer LP-2 Gloss White Here is some preogress pics . I am really hooked on using the Tamiya LP Lacquer paints . This build will beasy no wethering since this was a brand new Phantom

small update . I tried to modify the kit fin cap back dated to a early B . But propsed to go south and doing so i destroyed a kit tail. SO i ordered new parts from Tamiya and find cap from hypersonic models . Parts showed up. The hypersonic B fin cap is really great and fit like a dream. Also gothe last of the parts for the main wing assembled. Next to start on the cockpit and exhaust burner can area
