My Armorama Brothers and Sisters,

Here are the 2nd lot of the updated pic for Da Phantom, Baddest Plane in the world. If it ain't a Panthom, it ain't a plane!!!

hehehe. Like I said before with the last picture, nice job. It's looking good. What kind of exterior paintjob are you planning for it and what model is this phantom again (time period)?

Man you have a lot of models on your bench. Where have all of the tracked german thingies gone?

It's a bird....
It's a Tank!!!!
It's a PLANE!!!!

It's a SHIP?????


Wait a minute... it's yet another model by that madman Dave....

Really looking good man... you must not be sleeping much... I build a lot but this is two MAJOR projects... plus the Jagdpanther... just be careful that you don't end up with a ship's cannon attached to the Phantom #:-) #:-)

Later,
Tim

Very nice indeed Davidus. She is shaping up to be one hellof a bird. Imust say that at least you are maqking a 1/32 kit, so my comments on evil wicked wingy thingies shall stay to a minimium. as for it being a plane.....nope.....it must have a prop for that call....this is just a rocket with wings for looks.

Can't say anything else than its looking great!! It's almost scarey how PE makes a model look authentic!!!

And I must agree with you and PenPen, Dave - if it ain't a Viggen its not a plane!!!

The Old Girl looks great and monsterous!!!!! I am having flashback of my former life when I used to load them for takeoff. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see what teeth you put on the bottom of her..

My friend, judging by the Semper Fi, you are also a Marine. so this plane is also built in your honour, I am doing this for all my Marine friends here. MJ, Modelnut, Semper Fi. And we thank you for all the great things you did!

As disappointed as I am about your building planes (you said you only did WW2 German AFV's when I recommended an M13/40, you prick), I cannot deny that the result is enviable.
Great job Dave, looking forwar to the finished result but don't let it take away from the Jagdpanther.

Andrew
