Phantom FG.1 767 Naval Air squadron

Erik Leijdens Autor
So phinally started a F-4 in my modelling career!! Will be a RN machine. Will use the "Black Mike" box, luckily RN decals are included too since I dislike special paints. Let's hope they are still usable! Added some rivets on the rudder today so the build has started 😎

Maciej Bellos

Erik Leijdens Autor
Welcome mates! @Sergej, I already started mine! I couldn't wait until January 1st..!

Sawed off the wingtips in preparation for the wing folding set. Great detail on the resin hinge parts!

Konrad -
Great progress Erik!
I've used those folded wings on my F4 B Sundowners. Great looking detail in my opinion!

Erik Leijdens Autor
I'll have a look Konrad!

Konrad -
Thanks Erik!

Sergej I
All good Erik, in modelling, dates are just recommendations, not milestones 😉 👍

Spanjaard
wow those hinges look really good. count me in 🙂

Erik Leijdens Autor
¡Bienvenido Antonio 🙂

Konrad -
Very nice details on the folded wing section!

Erik Leijdens Autor
Kitty says "no further!"

Spanjaard
LOL, I LOVE IT!!! 🙂

David Taylor
He's not the famous phantom Black Mike

Michael Moerkens
Perhaps Kitty is thinking " no Tomcat on the bench "
Good looking Phantom by the way, Erik.

Maciej Bellos
Kitty is drop dead gorgeous!

Ben M
ha ha ha, that's great!

Jan Peters
Gotta love the cat, better cuddle it before it goes wild on your bench😁

That fur texturing is incredible, it almost looks like a real cat! 🙂

Murad ÖZER
1/16 leopard! beautiful fella there Erik 🙂

David Taylor
Could say your Phantom is the cats whiskers.

Erik Leijdens Autor
Great to see you all like my cat 😅😅

Carlos Cisneros
Catzilla!!!!

Daniel
My dog disapproves 😉

Oleg Smilyk
Take your pick, either me or the planes🙂

Neil
Another purrfect build I see! 👏 Sorry, obvious pun I know. But couldn't resist! 🙂

Erik Leijdens Autor
Okay back to the F-4 then😎. Glued the wing section to the fuselage, which does not fit perfect. But nothing some styrene sheet and putty can't solve.

Daniel Klink
So who is the Star here eh?.. 🙂

Jos Jansen
Whoop whoop...nice progress Erik!

Clifford Keesler
Looking nice Erik.

Oleg Smilyk
It turns out to be an excellent phantom, Erik!

Erik Leijdens Autor
Not much progress lately due to a "out of the comfort zone side project" but the gap is closed now and added a polarised sheet from Hasegawa to act like a HUD, saw this by my mate Jos Jansen' Phantom and it looks nice.

Konrad -
Very nice Erik!

Jos Jansen
That's what mates are for... 😄, looking great Erik!

Daniel
😄 he might be back!

Jos Jansen
Just what Daniel says, keep up the good work Erik... it's gonna be a stunner (including a very nice HUD 😉 )

Kees Kleijwegt
Nice progress on the Brit Phantom! 👍🏻

David Taylor
Erik keep up the good work,take no heed of anyone. Modelling is up to the individuals own interpretation.I am in awe of anyone who posts their creations on these forums.

David H
Coming along really nicely, I need to get some of that polarised material.

Happy Christmas to all ..

Spanjaard
Not only built from you and Jos, i must say....

Erik Leijdens Autor
Thanks mates! Will post some updates soon!
@Spanjaard, you are right Antonio 🍀

Gareth Windsor
Nice build so far. I really need to get on and finish mine. I'm about to put the HUD in my FG.1….. just like the real one …. tee hee
