Duncan CookOh it's the flying brick.
This year the german Airforce is decomisioning it this year.
Nice build so far.
Are you going to build a naval Phantom?

Tammy JerrettThanks Duncan, yes it's going to be in the markings of VF-111 Sundowners.

Holger KranichWow, great pit, gorgeous bangseats, seemless intakes and 111 markings? I'll follow this build for sure! Is that your first model kit? It looks as you are building for years!

Urban GardiniFor a first build it looks awesome! It do help though that you've chosen a really great kit to build but you show serious talent. This I'm gonna follow as a future reference as I also have this kit in my stash. An advice though, I've heard that the gear is impossible to fix in place if you skip 'em 'til the end of the build as is common as they should be installed when called for in the instructions. I don't know if it's really so but that's what I've heard.

Greg SolomonNice detail Tammy! I saw a lot of F4s at the Air Force Base I was stationed at here in Anchorage. Can't wait to see the finished model!

Tammy Jerrett@Urban - yes the gear is impossible to fit, learnt that the hard way - no worries though I picked up the aftermarket set for it. So yes, definitely leave until last

Dave FlittonExcellent work. Maybe you can but the scent of "old cockpit" on it to make it even more realistic!!

Paul WilsfordTammy that is exceptional, even for a first time ever. I hope you continue on with the hobby and have a blast. Who knows, you may become a heck of a historian.

Bill SpargoComing along really well Angel, only if all of us experienced modellers could have built their first model as good as yours we would look back with pride, well done. Oh you have to finish it before 25th October so you can enter it in a model comp in Sydney.

Alan RushHello Tammy. I haven't built many kits but I can tell when one is made well. Looks great! 👍 My first kit and my first aircraft certainly didn't look that good. How many hour went into the decals? 🙂

Bill SpargoGee Tammy, be careful, your showing up Mikey. You better book him in for some lessons. Beauty baby!
5 September 2014, 03:15
Tammy JerrettCheers all. I have made a little Bell chopper since this. @ Alan the decals took couple of days and a great deal of cursing and perseverance. @ Bill -Mikey's still the master. He inspires me.
