McDonnell-Douglas F-4J, VF-161 "Chargers"

Rando Аутор
VF-161 might just be my favorite Phantom scheme, so the box art sold me on this one. I need to enjoy a state-of-the-art kit and I hear Fine Molds is excellent. I got some masks and missiles on order but otherwise just a nice simple OOB here.

This kit is awesome. I'm already on to the main fuselage assembly and I'm not even rushing—it just falls together. Instructions say to paint (and decal?) after the fuselage and wings are attached

And then there were two! Building a Hasegawa 1/72 Phantom as a quick fun holiday ornament while I take my time on the Fine Molds paint job. Using DXM decals for a festive F-4J.

Thanks for following friends, was on a bit of a hiatus to work on some household projects.

Back to work now that it's warmer at the bench, and had to fix some warts on the paint scheme. Got the black stripe painted on the nose…excited to get to the decals

This kit is awesome, everything fits together so that any seam is covered/not visible somehow. The decals are nice too, the data stencils are clustered in groups of the same carrier film so it's a lot less work getting everything on. One flaw with the option I picked: the long black decal on the spine can't be applied until the metal tail part is attached, and the instructions tell you to paint/decal before that.
