1/48 Hasegawa F-4E RAAF

Malaysia 51th Merdeka Day 2008 

 

This is my 2nd offering for the Merdeka update. An Australian Phantom with a True Details cockpit and wheels and Hawkeye decals.  Built for the local societies contribution to the 50 years of the Phantom.  Somewhat related as the RAAF had a presence is Malaysia and was a common feature in Butterworth Penang, Malaysia. Not the Phantoms but Mirages and what not.
 
My thanks to Jason Cheah (F-4ablemodels) who actually presented this kit as a wedding gift for me sometime back.  I really enjoyed building this beast ....and I purchased one more to build sometime soon (Showtime 100) .....

All in all it was a very hectic year thus far and I only managed to complete 3 kits this year. Still is and I need to start building some Malaysian planes soon.....
 
Thanks again and as ever thanks to Steve and all at ARC for their support and to all Malaysians and to our local modelling society members -HAPPY MERDEKA AND A JOB WELL DONE on the display at Cinelesiure.

Happy 51th Merdeka Day Malaysia .
