Here's my second entry to the GB F-4J Phantom in USN markings "Jolly Rodgers". I haven't built an F-4 in ages so I'm looking forward to it.

Pics..

Hope to get going this weekend.

Thanks for looking, cheers Greg

Good one Greg. Not sure I like the look of some of the spru attachments, a bit over the top.

Thanks all

Work is in progress.....

So, wings are assembled as are the drop tanks, and cockpit tub. I'm closing the fuse next once I've filled the nose with ballast. It's difficult photographing 1/72 scale cockpits but there's quite a good bit of detail in there straight out the box. I've cleaned up the missiles too which were festooned with flash.

More progress soon(ISH).

Cheers Greg

More progress.....

So she's up on her feet and getting ready for a few coats of white for the underside. The rockets in the background are for my son's Mosquito build not me getting "creative" with the weapons load out for the Phantom . More shortly.

Thanks for watching
