Another Phantom!
This time it's my Hasegawa 1/72 F-4J Phantom II in VF-33 markings
during the Vietnam deployment aboard USS America. A "MIG Killer"!

I used a large amount of
aftermarket products: seats from Pavla, etched parts from Airwaves,
exhaust and instrument panel details from Verlinden, decals
(hundreds, mainly stencils) from Superscale and spares box (my reference
sources donīt confirm the accuracy of mission markings on the right
splitter plate but, even that, I used it).
Some scratch to complete
the cockpit (instruments and wires), some weathering (lighter gray shades
on some areas, a little black on others and a wash to highlight
the panel lines) and the bird was ready for the photos. I hope You
like it! Thanks and congratulations for the site, an all day source of
ideas and entertainment.
