Model is made out of box.

I did some preshading. After that I made some color modulation.
Last step was wash and oil paints.

A very nice Phantom ! I like how you faded the camo. It makes it seem like it has spent many hours in the air. Thank you for sharing ! Tom

Beautiful build, I love it. What did you use to make the cement barriers at the top of the display base?

Thanks everyone for such nice comments.

Those barriers were made from balsa wood.

Very nice indeed. I like the short nosed Phantom IIs and you have done a solid work. 1/32 kits really are in my opinion a joy to work with and you have done a nice job. Actually I really like the sharp painting edges for all the details on the pilots.

Cheers!

Thank you.
It's Tamiya kit so it's almost perfect. I would give 95/100 points.
Fit is excellent, I didn't had any problems with this. It was like building from LEGO blocks.
I didn't check the accuracy, I never do this so in this matter I'm unable to help.
Instruction is very good, simple and clear. It provides some brief info about the plane, info about paints and camo and you can choose from two versions F-4C or D.
