A new week and a new project both begin today… I am going to build Hasegawas 1/48 F-4N for a Phantom GB on another forum. I will be using this kit

with these 3D decals for detailing the seats

It’s gonna be a few days before I will have the time to start painting the cockpit and will have another update worth posting…

Tom, yes you need another Phantom :whistle:

Mike, I’m planning on the VMFA-323 markings.

I have the Phantom kit in mind to add to the stash, just gotta find the AM decals I’m looking for. :whistle:

Too many Vipers in my stash, not enough Phantoms, Hornets, and nary a single Tomcat :bag:

I do want the Tamiya F-14 Tomcat though. A bit pricey for me now at the moment.

What version of a Phantom are you looking for Tom? And what markings are you looking for?

E version. Found the 1/48 scale F-4 Phantom kit I need but lack the funds.... for now. :bag:

I'm looking to build as Turkish "Terminator". I did find the AM decal set somewhere but forget the link. It's most likely bookmarked on my iPad.

Nice Project. And those are some nice markings Carlos. I was toying with getting that sheet to do a Grey Ghost with the Tamiya F-4B (not sure if you can do an N with that kit?) , but having just acquired all those nice 1/72 Fine Molds B/N/J Phantoms, as well as a nice AOA decal sheet, I said to myself in my best British accent, "What's a matter with ya man, have ya gone completely bonkers?" :lashed:
