Hello Guys.
This is the phantom partially decalled...the panel lines is not highlighted yet... The 600 gal drop tank is installed, all the pylons and weapons will be installed after the main frame is decalled and weathered. I had a base custom made by a guy along with a Bronze plate for it to dedicate to all my Marine friends here in Armorama, MJ, Warlock, Modelnuts, to name a few...
Semper Fi!!!!!

Very Nice,
I did mine in three tone camo and to see it in gray is really cool. I like the look.
Are you going to add any more wash on the afterburner to set off the panels anymore. The photo is a bit blurry and its hard to tell how much differentiation is there.
Looks very nice. Need to call you speedie. Its coming along fast.

SS-74 My Brother, My Friend:
Love the gray on this gunslinger. Looks like your paint and decal work is top notch as usual. This is a nice bird. Can't wait to see her loaded up.
There is no doubt, you are "Da Man"!!!

Excellent Phantom Dave. But i am more worried about what you are watching on TV. It looks like somebody in a leather mask....?? Is it home movies or something you rented? I am starting to get concerned that the SARS outbreak has driven you a little stir crazy. Maybe you need to get out and mingle.

Although I appreciate the sentiments, that don't look like no Tiger Tank. We are going to have to give you armored shock treatments to get you over this wingy thing trip. Where's that security department when you need him and his foxes?
Good job on the grey scheme, most everyone wants them camo'ed, I never have heard of VMFA-333.
Okay, breaks over, back to the salt mines
