Hi Guys,
After Da Apache, I had done some more works on the Phantomin the last few nights. I didn't wanna post them till the plane started to take shape.
The outter wings are just attached, the angles are not right, which need to be adjusted either later on tonight or tomorrow
An underside view
A something fun view, the plane with an 1/48 die cast Phantom

SS, you are freakin model building nut! How do you find the time to do this? I've been lucky to get a few links done on the Friul tracks I started on Monday. Looking good so far.......what custom nose art are you planning to paint on this baby?

Whew!...that was my first view of that 1/32 kit. She's a monster, isn't she? Looking pretty darn good so far, Dave.

Looks good, Dave. One question, how to plan to get the tires on without damaging the gear?

Thank you guys for your kind comment.
This Phantom building have been a lot of fun so far, and thanks for Steve StugIIIF whom gave me the 1/32 Bombs, I can make it a Phantom loaded with bombs. There is always something about Phantom with bombs it's very impressive.
The tires are made of rubber piece from the kit, so it's very easy to slide them on the wheel once the paint is finished.
Again, thank you guys for your kind comments.

Looks like a nice clean build so fargood buddy.
I love it :-) even if it is a poopy plane and modern to boot
Keep up the good work.
I would say something constructive but I know absolutely nothing about aircraft models, especially modern.
