Right. High time I had a go at a Hasegawa Spook. So, next up is this, 1/48th F-4E. The lizards scheme is tempting, but I've decided on the grey 141st TFS 108thTFW New Jersey ANG birdie.

OK. Cockpit pretty much done. Now, scratching detail is NOT one of my strengths, but I did promise Bex a while back that I'd have a go at belts. And so, with the foil lids kindly provided by her, here are my crude results..........................................they can only get better4 with practice :huh:

Cheers Steve, your too kind. I've seen much much better on here!! And those belts are very much first efforts, but at Bexy cant have a go for not trying now!!

Ignore Hasegawa's instruction to have the '30 Years of Phabulous Phantoms' legend on both sides of the fuselage, it was only on the left side.

Cheers for that, matey, but I'm not doing that option anyway! :)

Ooops, you did mention that in your first post, didn't you? Serves me right for posting while half awake. Carry on!

Main construction completed. The difference in quality over the previous Revell and Italeri kits is deffo much higher, overall fit being pretty good. Just a bit of filler needed around the port intake and the forward fusalage/wing junction.

good progress

the inside of the airbrake bay is not red but the same color as the bottom of the fuselage. Red are only the actual air brakes and their actuators!

Your right, of course! I will, one day, learn to check my ref's! :wacko:

Decals all on. Last time I used Hasegawa dec's, they were horrible, thick, and silvered badly. This lot were much thinner, went on like a dream, and reacted well to Microset.
