So while I'm waiting for the decals of the Phantom to arrive, I dug this one out of the stash.





It will be the first time I will be using so much PE. Damn, some of these things are small. Already shot some of into space. I will only be using some of it to enhance the plane.

Some PE fitted.





The Interior Green is mixed as per the instructions.

Tried my hand at making a wood finish for the interior. Tamiya XF59, Vallejo Natural Wood and then a brush with some Raw Sienna oil paints.







And some better pics.

Wowza.... that is stunning.

Hey Ant,

Cockpit details looks great (The seatbelts really add something to the atmosphere)

Clever idea to put masking tape on the back of the PE parts but why would you want a wood finish for the interior?

Regards,
Stratobat

Looking great AntMustard Nothing like a Tamiya 48th scale kit to get the modelling mojo back !!

Here's the real thing (but without floats) seen at Duxford Flying Legends 2011 :

Thanks guys.

Jip Mistral. The Tamiya kits are great to boost the enthusiasm again.

Here are some more pics.

Looking very good

Very nice build so far. I especially like the engine. Could be from a bigger scale the way it looks
