so here it is , the final reveal of my entry into this gb
it is made with the Eduard "good morning Da Nang" kit wich is a upgraded version of the Academy kit
i picked the version that is on the box as i kind of like the skull and crossbones look that was adopted by the Jolly
rogers
and that is all i have
i hope you guys like it
thanks for watching and untill next time
cheers Mark

Mark, this lady is an absolute stunner, brilliant work and sheer madness with all that stenciling. Totally in awe of how well this turned out

Thank you very much Felis
I wouldn't call it perfect but i am very pleased with the result
really when i think about the painting problems wich where 3/4 my own fault but it can be a motivation killer if things don't go the way you want
thanks for watching and the kind comment
cheers Mark

You sure are!
The 262 was really nice, but this one is another thing alltogether.
You have made huge huge progress.
Beautiful Phantom mate!

That is absolutely gorgeous Mark. I have a couple of 1/32 scale F-4's that I have in the que. I have been looking at all the F-4's on the forum. They all look amazing. I just hope I can do it any justice since I have never tried anything like it before.

Don't worry about doing "justice" to a kit
Just go a head and build one ,that is the best way to gain experiance

Thanks Will
There is not so much dirt really
A few stains left by the wash here and there but that is it
the idea was to highlight the panel lines only
but it turned out better then expected

Thank you very much
I am happy with it but i plan on expanding my Jolly Rogers fleet later on in the year as i have a F-14 in the same colors
But i think i can use more practice with planes so maybe another kit before i start that one
