I did some weathering of the Phantom with oils. Those Phantoms were dirty planes..

Hi Walaroo, you have the Academy kit? I really like this kit. I had no major issues during construction. A little bit of putty/CA was required to make the intakes "fit in". To me the fit is as good as of the 1/48 Hasegawa kits. I added some of the "in progress pics" to the gallery so that you can see the areas which needed more attention.

@ Major Oak: for a clear gloss coat I use Tamiya X-22 thinned with Mr Leveling Thinner, in a ratio of approx. 20/80. Sprayed in several thin layers.
