Wow It's been a while since my last update

Any way work has been slow on this project but the decalling and washes have been done





Next up will be to get the under carriage sorted.

As always comments, suggestions and critique is always welcome:)

Been slowing plodding away since the last update and the Phantom is on the final hurdle. Here the pics taken over the last couple of weeks.

The Bang Seats


The Cockpit






The Underside and Undercarriage






The Exhausts


The Drop tanks,


I'm not sure what happened while weathering the centerline tank but I like the worn and scratched look that it has managed to get.








All that left to do is some touch ups and attach the canopies and i should be able to call this finished

As always comments, suggestion and critique is always welcomed
