Phantoms part 20, Hasegawa 1/48

by Shawn Phantom Weiler

--------------------

 

This is a combo of 3 kits into 2.  The other build will be chapter 21.  This build combines a newer mold F-4J.  A early 80's J and a F-4E. Situation was I wanted to build a S. And I am cheap.

The wings are from the E. The body for this model is from the newer J.  Combining the 3 kits (for example I don't have the fuselage for the E) I came out with two complete kits.  The seats are Verlinden.  The decals are really old Repli scale and I used some photo etch from Eduard.  The intakes......I don't remember who made them, I took them from another completed build and the exhaust covers are kitchen tin foil.

This model was made for the Marine group build.  The Repli scale decals were for the Phantom retirement of VMFA-321 in 1991.  I think I over weathered the paint scheme, but then again who ever heard of a clean Phantom?
