Looks good, Mike.
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!"..

Re: 1/48 Academy F-4J Phantom
One side of the middle brace sits up and not flush like it's supposed to. I'll have to fix this first before moving on. What do you guys use to attach PE and resin to clear parts? Really worried about fogging the clear parts using super glue

Re: 1/48 Academy F-4J Phantom
For clear parts/PE I use Testors clear parts glue. I’ve also used Gator Glue. I don’t want the CA fogging to happen.

I've got Micro Kristal Klear glue. It's pretty much white glue.

Re: 1/48 Academy F-4J Phantom
I’ve used that too, before I started using Testors Clear Parts or Gator Glue. It’s another good option. Some guys at our IPMS even suggest using Future as a glue for clear parts to something else...

I've done that before. Very effective when attaching a canopy to a model.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Reattached the middle brace with Micro Kristal Klear. Looks much better.
