Over at Kiwi Modeller there's been a lot of talk about F-4 kits over the last week or so, enough for one of the guys to suggest an 'open ended' Phantom Group Build. As I have a sizeable number of them in all major scales (except 1:144) and I haven't built one in ages, I've thrown my hat in the ring.
This is my first one:
The Hasegawa re-tool of their initial F-4C/D kit in 1:48 - of course because I'm a wee bit 'odd', I'll be carving all the lumps'n bumps pertaining to the late model 'D' to take it back to a vanilla 'C'. Not going to use any resin, etch or other aftermarket goodies except for decals and a single late 'winder from the Hasegawa weapons set, (I'm even going to put the pilot figures in... Just as Hasegawa intended.
Hopefully at the other end of the bench it will come-out looking something like this one:
And the adventure begins once again. Wish me luck. :drinks
