Roland Revolvermann Great, beautiful
Question: How did you fixed the stand to the model? Screws directly in the fuselage or a counterpart?
15. October at 14:53:33
Michael Phillips Thanks Roland!

I actually just drill two small holes into the fuselage underside then let the self-tapping screws do the rest. Using two screws makes the attachment very secure, so I never worry about that. I have seen some people cut out holes in the assembly process of a build then superglue in nuts then attach with bolts, but I am never that foresighted when I am building LOL. By the time the fuselage is assembled it's too late to go that route. But since this works for me, I will continue that way. :)
15. October at 19:31:57
Roland Revolvermann Thanks, i will try the screw method :)

Demigod Really good work and a splendid paint job, as always! It's not easy to make these blues look realistic, but you nailed it!
9. October at 17:58:46
Maciej Bellos First things first: congrats for the splendid model. And congrats for your fourth first place this year! Fingers crossed for the next comp!
9. October at 20:13:54
Jim J Wow! . Fantastic execution on a really attractive camo scheme. Perfect.
10. October at 00:11:20
Michael Phillips Thanks Slavo, Murad, Tim, Spanjaard, Demigod, Maciej, and Jim! I appreciate all the compliments and congrats on my win!

I think this has moved into the pantheon of my favorite model I have built, slightly edging out the Su-30MKM. I really love this particular camo scheme and am really proud of how it turned out.
10. October at 17:31:16
Spanjaard with good reason Michael :)
10. October at 23:34:25
Donald Dickson II Wow! Yeah, that turned out gorgeous!
10. October at 23:36:17
Tim Heimer Defiantly a show stopper! Congrats!

Maciej Bellos Hey Michael, have you taken a peek at it? How does it look?
9. October at 20:16:33
Michael Phillips I have not yet had a chance to check it out because it is currently on the slow boat from HK (Lucky Model $10 flat ground rate). So I wont have this, the Su-35, or the Mirage 2000B/D/N for about a month. :)

But I have heard some nice reviews on the plastic detail and accuracy, so I am excited to get my hands on it!
10. October at 17:29:04
Patrick Hagelstein I opened the box last week and was flabbergasted about the quality and sad at the same time because I first want to finish my aggressor...... :( But after that's finished, I'll get to building this one in the lizard wrap around! Looking at the sprues and the finely detailed parts, this kit is awesome!!! :D
10. October at 18:23:15
Maciej Bellos Oh boy, that's one kit in the wishlist! Thanks Patrick! Since some German Starfighters ended up serving in the Hellenic Air Force as surplus aircraft, that's an even more tempting model to build.
10. October at 19:51:19
Murad ÖZER if i could get my hands on one of these i'd build me a nasa spiffy nasa test aircraft.

5. October at 07:17:13
Slavo Hazucha I hope you make it, it's a big show! Still re-checking how well the weathering went! Sea flankers age in a different way & you got it spot on! One can really feel the soot & grime from the Admiral Kuznetzov's old rusty funnel in the panel lines ;)
5. October at 09:00:36
Spanjaard i love Flankers, and this one is certainly fantastic!
5. October at 20:56:58

Michael Phillips Thanks for the tips Maciej, F-16 blocks tend to confuse me. Small mouth, Large mouth, GE, PW, gear doors, strengthening plates... I will have to go look and see what is in the C kit.

Michael Phillips Thanks Patrick, that link is AWESOME! It answers pretty much any Block related F-16 question. I really appreciate you posting that!
18. August at 00:25:50
Michael Phillips So I have made my decision... I am going to build the F-16D.... AAAAAAAAND the F-15DJ Japanese Aggressor! :)

I will do the F-16D first, as it will be a considerably faster build (the Hasegawa F-16C I built a few years ago was very easy to build, if my memory serves me correct)
18. August at 00:29:15
Patrick Hagelstein :D Even better choice!

Michael Phillips As requested, here are some pics of how I make my own in-flight bases. Needed are:

12" aluminum bar (36" original length cut to size)
Piano Black Glossy Black Plaque Blank
4 self-tapping wood screws
Plastic Baseball Card Holder
Information Card created in Illustrator to the size of a standard baseball card
Blu-Tac
Drill
Short Phillips Screw driver

I will be happy to answer any questions anyone might have.

27. June at 03:37:00
Donald Dickson II Did you do anything to reinforce the area of the model the screws went in?
27. June at 03:42:04
Michael Phillips I did not. It is quite secure using the size screws I used as well as the fact there are two of them.
27. June at 03:45:58
Donald Dickson II Cool. I just wasn't sure if the plastic would be thick enough to not have the screws tear out or anything.
27. June at 03:51:19
Mark Norfolk Very neat Michael. Very neat indeed- I really like that. And the idea in the first place...!
27. June at 04:31:47
Sybar Many thanks for sharing your method. Your bases are an elegant way to display your superb models. I hope to produce a model worthy of such a base so I can attempt one.
27. June at 04:54:37
Xander Jansen Thanks for sharing !!!

Ronan Very nice paint work Michael
24. April at 21:21:48
Slavo Hazucha Great paintwork & shading, very realistic! The positive rivets look very good in this context too... Looking forward to see it finished :)
25. April at 09:44:31
Michael Phillips Thanks Timothy, Erik, Ronan, and Slavo! I really appreciate the kind words.

So I got her on 'er feet and I worked on the "R2D2" senser ball thingy on the nose. Played around with molotow chrome and clear yellow and blue to get a holographic effect. I am really pleased with how it turned out. The molotow chrome on the left side of the sensor ball is very mirror like, and you can see reflections in it quite clearly. :)
26. April at 03:55:02
Nathan Dempsey That sensor looks great! The one side looks "deep". Very realistic.
26. April at 12:42:23
Michael Hickey She looks really great.

Anthony D'Agostino She is a good looking bird, I will start mine after I finish my AH-6J conversions, I have two of those. One will be the A with weapons, the other with outboards for the assault team. That should be fun, just need to find clear canopies, the kit has gold shaded plastic, sucks!
5. April at 14:22:36
Holger Kranich You can be absolute satisfied with the result, Michael!
5. April at 14:36:14
Michael Phillips Thanks Anthony and Holger! I am satisfied, just wished it had turned out better for my friend. But as long as he and his fiancee were happy that's all that mattered!
8. April at 19:23:42
Anthony D'Agostino Hey Michael, I am sure that your friend and his fiancee are absolutely delighted with this rendition, and no way they could have created one even close to this level of realism. I know that feeling you have, but trust me, it is unwarranted, she is gorgeous!
10. April at 09:44:41

Anthony D'Agostino That's a gorgeous Blackhawk you built there, love that it has the werners wings decal set as well. One question I had for you. While reading the only review attached to this kit, at the end, he claims that this kit is not a true L modification, as if is missing the larger horizontal stabilizer. Did you find a proper piece? I have this in my collection and likely to start it in a fes months, but I want to get the right specs for the decal set that I have from microscale, if I remember correctly.

Thanks in advance,

Anthony stalker6recon D'Agostino
5. April at 14:14:50
Michael Phillips Thanks for the kind words Anthony! Actually, I had no idea about the larger horz stab. My friend wanted me to build one for his Fiancee, and was not terribly concerned with extreme accuracy and just wanted me to build it OOB (except the decals).

I will keep an eye out for your build my friend, looking forward to seeing you build one!
8. April at 19:25:52
Anthony D'Agostino You will have to wait a bit, as I have two AH-6J conversions on my bench. It will be my first builds in thirty years, and I bought resin conversions because, well just building a OOB model after such a long layoff was too little a challenge for me. By the way, after even more searching and asking the gurus at arc, the rear stabilizer is fine, and I had bad info regarding that. What is different between the A and L, is the pilots step, which is ridiculously small to even see on most aircraft while flying, so not a big deal one way or the other.

I will put my birds up for scrutiny, once the first one is out of the paint booth. Cheers!

bughunter Great work, like it
9. January at 20:59:23
Michael Phillips Thanks Martien and bughunter!

Clifford, I used Gunze Aqueous H335 Medium Seagray for the overall coat. I had read H337 was a good match as well, but I decided to go with the slightly darker and "less blueish" H335. For comparison, the H337 is the dark gray color from my previous build, the Heater-Ferris F-4S.

Unlike almost all other Flankers, the Malaysian scheme is entirely one color top and bottom, which is kinda cool.
9. January at 21:40:37
Michael Prator Wow ... fantastic job
9. January at 22:12:05
Erik Leijdens Amazing....! Mean looking Flanker!

9. January at 22:28:59
Michael Phillips Thanks Michael, Erik, and Spanjaard! This one is ALMOST done, just gotta finish the canopy detail and add a couple probes and doodads and that's it. I might finish tonight, as least that's the plan. :)

Once again, thanks to everyone that followed along, as well as commenting and contributing!

10. January at 18:15:20
Clifford Keesler Thanks for the color. I got my J-11 painted today. It is Tamiya IJN grey on the undersides, and Blue grey on top. MM Dark Ghost Grey with a few drops of dark blue added.

Daemion, I am really looking forward to building one. If I hadn't built the KH Su-35 somewhat recently, I would already be building this one. :)

I am not quite sure if this is the place for this, but I just learned some very sad news. Mate "Rex" (RexTN) passed away two days ago. He was just part of a lively discussion on my recent F-4S build thread, so this is quite shocking and heartbreaking. He was a foremost authority on all things NavAir, Colors, F-4, A-4, and kits of these aircraft in 1/72.

He will be greatly missed, and the modeling world is a little darker place today.

RexTN

RIP Rex,,,,,,
