Monogram 1/48 F-4b Phantom

[dollar19]

During my recuperation after the finger amputation, I pulled another one out of the pile of half finished kits I've amassed. Got it finished up this morning and thought I'd post it up here.
Here's the finished product, warts and all.

Thanks for looking......

Very nice. Very judicious use of weathering. Looks like a nicely maintained real Phantom.

Where are the warts? I was promised warts! Except for the missing warts she looks awesome! Are those the stock intakes from the kit? Or aftermarket?

Actually they are neither. Monogram molded the intake with a flat wall as you can see. All I did was Google a picture of an F-4 intake with a good view of the compressor face, print it and cut it in half. I then adhered it to the wall in the trunking. That simple. It sure beats the heck out of seeing a dead flat surface in there don't you think?

To all who have commented .....Thanks

Indeed! That is an incredibly innovative method! Do you mind if I use it?
