looking really good. good call in not using that decal. although the decals are top quality (if they are as good as in the bigger 1/48), it looks great painted. cans looking really good too.

Thank you. And yes, the decal quality is indeed very good. I used the 2 walkway decals on the wings because of the printed "walkway" letters. Will be fun to go on with all the other decals in the next step.

what a beautiful result. wonderful weathering, just spot on in my opinion (reminds me that i need to add a bit of grime to mine...). it can pass as 1/48

Thank you all. I'm happy that you like it. By the way, I noticed 2 mistakes, now that I have made all the final pictures:
1. I forgot to remove 2 small mask triangles at the canopy.
2. I forgot to make the tires a bit flat.

I have corrected that already but I don't feel like doing new photos.😉

Weathering turned out awesome, as did the paintjob. 👍👍 Also like the presentation with the mirroring surface - great work!

Thanks for all your positiv words. So I made one new picture with both mistakes corrected. Must be enough. 😉

I tried the mirroring presentation for the first time and it is easy to do: just put the object on a simple glass screen from a picture frame and choose a flat angle when taking the photos.

Excellent Phantom! Weathering is not too light - not too heavy = just right!

Album info

The Phantom has always been one of my favorite jets. More than 20 years ago I already had it as a Revell Kit and with my sparse know-how at the time, it looked accordingly.

That's why I needed a better quality kit and I wanted to try out newly acquired techniques. Let's see what comes out of it.
