Awesome! Been looking forward to finally starting this kit and project and doing my best to hold up to scrutiny! 😄

if you continue the progression of the 109 and 190, this one will be amazing!!!
what a surprise to see Patrick here 😄
I wonder if will be able to finish mine before Christmas? well only more 3-4 weeks 😛

Haha, thanks man - I am really trying to improve this one again, since I got a sweet spot with them F-4s! 😄

At least my vacation starts on December 14th, so I might have a chance to finish this one till then - I have a sneaking suspicion that my girlfriend will put a certain Su-35 under the christmas tree...😉

Following too seems to be a nice project! I've got the same one just in 1/72 scale.

Haha, Martin, starting with you commenters here, I am browsing through a LOT of nice F-4 Albums right now! Welcome aboard xD

The Cockpit looks great. I love this PE stuff from eduard. Your first time? Cool 👍

Dennis
Yeah, first time using it - I am really happy with how it looks right now, the pictures don't give it enough credit! It was less of a hassle to work with than I feared, too! Highly recommended! 🙂

Spanjaard
it certainly looks good.

Thanks a lot, Spanjaard!If work progresses as planned I can start painting for real in the next few days - I really am excited at this point 😄

A lovely kit so far, very enjoyable build! The fit is excellent!

If you hadn't mentioned the dark gull grey issue, I wouldn't have noticed. It turned out really great!

Dennis
*phew* Thanks for your kind words, Patrick! I was *so sure* it was dark gull grey that I didn't bother doublechecking. I don't even know why I thought that, maybe because I was researching on Luftwaffe basaltgrau earlier that day. xD

*pffffft pshhhtttt* - ah well, just take it as a challenge, I guess! 😄

Cool progress Dennis! It looks fantastic so far 👍

Martin Oostrom
Just in time to take a peek? Yes!
Great job so far Dennis

Thanks so much, Konrad and Martin! Got the weapons built, will prime and paint them in 2018, decal it all up and should yet finish during my vacation 😄

So, I dare to call that one finished! The kit itself has been an absolute pleasure to build save for some verrrryyyyyy few things, that were a bit ambigous in the manual, some fiddly things and some decals that are bigger than on the decal instructions.

All in all I cursed far, far less than with my late Revell kits and I already decided on getting another Academy F-4 in the near future!

Worksmanship-wise: it's a bit mixed. I managed to damage the chevron-decal (but think I fixed it alright), had some major airbrushing hiccups - could have been better, but it still has been a ton of fun AND I think I managed to rectify all major errors rather nicely so I am really proud right now.

Next kit will be a smaller / faster / quicker one, though 😄
