The Phantom is phinally primed. Also painted the sides around where the intakes go so that I can attach them now and deal with any problems there. Painted the gear bays flat white while I had it out for the Viper.

Intakes have been added. One of the intakes when on without issues (no gaps or steps). The other one had to be glued at the back first. Left it over night so that I had a good strong bond, then glued and clamped the front.

Mike,
Excellent work there sir! I'll be sticking around for this on. Also, you mentioned on the first page that you finished up a A-10 build...is that in the finished builds forums? I would like to see that one.

Looking good on the primer and good work on figuring the troublesome intake out. What ever it takes.

Re: 1/48 Academy F-4J Phantom
The intakes has been problems for me when I’ve done Phantoms. Sometimes they cooperate in fit other times not. Of course, depending on the kit manufacturer.
From what I’m seeing, it’s looking pretty good.
