Re: 1/48 Academy F-4J Phantom
Awesome to see you making progress on this!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Thanks! I was getting a bit discouraged with the cockpit fowling things up. Just test fitted the upper and lower fuselage and the intakes and it's all a great fit!!

Nothing but respect for those that tackle the F-4. I have one and I'm not looking forward to building it. Jets, such as this, always give me the heebie-jeebies due to all the nooks and crannies they have. This is really nice.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

You can do it. You're already tackling the A-10. It just takes careful planing on what and when to paint things.LyleW wrote:Nothing but respect for those that tackle the F-4.
