So this the Christmas Phantom? Quite sure you will knock it out of the park. 🙂

I got it all re-scribed today and started the pit. I used the Eduard RF-4C PE set for the Hasegawa kit. It is looking good, I will put up some pictures tomorrow. The cockpit sidewall detail in the kit was pretty nice. I noticed that even though it is in a Testor's box it has Iterali stamped inside the fuselage. So far fit is quite nice.

Tis one is now kind of on hold, my son will not be able to make it for Christmas, so I have a little more time. So I am going to order some resin wheels and seats.

Donald Dickson II
Sorry to hear he wont be making it for Christmas. BUT, at least you dont have to rush it so much.

This is true, so it will only be better. LOL.

Your turning this monster into a beautiful beast.👍

Clifford Keesler
Thank you all very much. I have to paint the resin seats, and add the nav lights. I have the Master metal pitot tubes and AOA vane for it. I have never used them, so am looking forward to seeing how they look.

Very nice Clifford. The Master Parts a great I use the parts on all my builds once available.
12 February 2018, 05:30
Donald Dickson II
Cliff, the Master stuff is fantastic. Fairly low cost and almost always much more accurate than kit stuff.
12 February 2018, 12:09
Patrick Hagelstein
I love Master Parts too. I use it for all my pitots and AoA sensors. Just drill an appropriate hole and voilá!

Nice job

Martin Oostrom
You jump started this project really well. Quick and beautiful!
12 February 2018, 20:18
Clifford Keesler
Thank you all. I will be using the master parts on my future builds. I really like the detail, and you can't argue with the price.
13 February 2018, 00:10
Donald Dickson II
IKR? Like 5-10 bucks for accurate METAL pitots and the like. No more snapping them in two putting them in a display case or transporting them etc etc

Clifford Keesler
Thanks Donald and James. I haven't been able to do much on this one for awhile, a lot of other stuff going on. @ Donald. 4.49 from Spruebrothers.

But since you have chosen a very old work-intensive piece, respect 👍,
in another forum is just Vietnam topic, because I would then decide to go for a phantom, I think Wolfpack offers beautiful folding wings for, let's see ... still is time to start 😄
19 February 2018, 20:20
Clifford Keesler
Thanks Jens. I have plenty of Phanthom's to build, I will give the Wolfpack wingfold set a look see.
19 February 2018, 20:30
Clifford Keesler
Finally finished this beast.
21 February 2018, 19:21

A nice beast 🙂! By the way the folding set from Wolfpack is great! I've used it on my Navy Spook!
21 February 2018, 19:25
