Sweet, welcome aboard Sören! Just assembled a couple sub-assemblies and painted the cockpit base color so far. Should be a nice, low stress build. So far everything fits great. Not a lot of aftermarket on this one. This one is intended to enter my IPMS club "1950's" theme contest in October.

Well I'll take a seat to take a look to this interesting Phantom precursor. I build the Grand Phoenix kit in 2006. so I'm a little bit curious about the fit and sub assemblies of this new kit.

This looks like an interesting project. I really like the Demon and I will follow this project with great interest.

Got the cockpit mostly together, need to weather it a bit still, and need to go back in and do a few things to the IP. This is the first time putting PE belts on a bang seat. Man, that sure was fun. NOT. lol

Thanks for stopping by everyone! Update: Got the fuselage halves together now. Need to clean up the seams a bit more, but it is coming along!

Interesting! I´ll stay tuned! I´m not sure if it was mentioned already in you other builds but what is the black base colour you use? Black primer?

Thanks Michael! I do tend to work quickly. Each build usually takes me 3-4 weeks, however the Hasegawa Tomcat I just built took 6.5 weeks, the longest project for me ever.

Thanks, welcome to the show Sven! I use a black primer, Gunze Mr Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black. The stuff just goes on like a dream! And I thought the Tamiya Fine Surfacer primers were good, the Gunze Primer is even better! The white stippling/doodles are made using Tamiya Liquid Primer White.

Hmmm, looks like a lot of techniques I can use on my 1/72nd version

Thanks for the hint Michael! I will try that technique on my next A/C.

@Michael, I wish I could build them that quick, usually takes me a couple of months and I'm at home every day.🤔

I like it Michael, it looks great. This one has been on my wish list for along time. F-4 is almost finished.

what a lovely build, but how was it Michael? i do very much want to build one of these myself in 1/72 tho

Thanks Murad! So far it has been a rather nice build. The fit was very good just about everywhere, with only a couple little hiccups. I am not as familiar with 1/72 kits, what is the best one out there for the F3H?

Michael i don't think there is any worthy in 72, i just hope HB would scale this down to 72 as they did with many other of their kits.
