Awhile back there was a picture
titled "Riverine Phantom" in the Test Post Clubhouse section, I looked
at it and said "I can do that!" I had an Italeri F4F Phantom kit
that I had purchased a few years ago thinking that at half the price of a
Hasegawa kit that it might be ok..... Not! It was half built and destined
for the boneyard! Nothing like a razor saw and a twisted plan to revive a
stalled project! I may get a rep over this.....it's not the first time I have
chopped up a bad kit with a saw, hmm come to think of it I have cut up some good
kits too! The wings are from a 72nd scale Phantom......that I cut up a long time
ago.

It reminds me of a
Voodoo in some ways with the smaller wings, I suppose it could work but it would
be out of gas by the time it got off the ground! A very short range interceptor
indeed. I Couldn't decide whether to build it as a Japanese or German Aircraft
so I built it as both, the foreign E & F are my favourite variants of the
F4. Happy Silly Week!!!
