Going to start very simple, with an Arado E.377a Julia, the first type designed specifically for Mistel operations.

Have been working on a Hasegawa F-16C recently too, almost finished the PE work. If the Arado works I might enter that next, if no-one has any objections?

 

[Crimea_River]

Go for it

Phantom has been one of my faves since, well since it was introduced. I have been lucky enough to see a few at airshows and in flight. I'm building this as my unchosen GB "50 years in service". Almost made it with 49 years of service markings 1971-2020 in the Japanese Air Self Defense Force. This is going to be a formidable paint and decal job; and the kit is no low count, easy deal. I have my Shindenkai to fall back on, but I've promised myself a F-4 build for a long time. The last one I did was in the 80's.

Good news!!!!! The compressor I ordered is in and I'm picking it up on Wednesday.

 

[Crimea_River]

Cool. Great if you like stencils.

 

[Jayl]

What are the rules? Is a conceptual aircraft allowed? Something like this maybe?

 

[fastmongrel]

I think the rules are pretty broad on this build.

Has it got a propeller NO then your in

 

[Crimea_River]

There is already a concept entry so go for it.
