Stefan FraundorferI'll take a close look at your model. I have the same one in my stash and would like to build it myself in the near future. Have fun Neil!

NeilWow! Welcome all. Really great to have interest from such a talented bunch of fellow modellers. @stephan, looking forward to your version very much also 👍👍 @mark, I know, I'm a bit nuts! I love having lots of the go, takes a while to complete and I'm useless at doing reveal photos. But it keeps it all fresh for me! My job is all about multiple projects, so similar state of mind! 😂

JohnI do NOT envy you your masking job but it should look amazing when you finish (or run out of tape). 👍

NeilHi John, thanks for your interest mate. I should be ok tbh as the kit comes with a superdecal (cheat) sheet! So although there's some stressful masking on a metallic finish, it's hopefully all doable 👍 I've added some more images today. Thanks for your likes also to all who've dropped by too 🙂

Donald Dickson III did this one as well. Those decals are actually pretty good.
I tried acrylic metallics for the first and last time on this one. When I removed the masking for the red, it pulled EVERYTHING, primer included, right up. The finish was awesome until then. Alclad and Metalizer for me from there out.

NeilHi J35J - thanks very much 👍 🙂
Hi Donald, Yes, I agree, the kit decals are nice - though they are on the thicker side. On application they hide a lot of the kits surface detail in my opinion. However subsequent passes with more (and more!) softening and setting solution is doing them justice - more pictures to follow. Sorry to hear of your paint issues when building. Yes. My version is painted solely with Vallejo acrylics: Vallejo primer, Vallejo colour and Metal Colour 👍 You rescued your version well, looks good 🙂

Donald Dickson IIThank you. In person you can see the areas that pulled fairly clearly.
I used Solvaset on the decals. That managed to get them to settle down fairly well. But yeah, it did hide a bit. BUT, i liked the thickness as those large ones required a good bit of fiddling to get where they needed to be and they stood up to the handling perfectly.

John MulhallThank you for the kind comments and likes. This was a rescue build of a kit that I had started 20 years ago, and boxed it up when I was sent overseas. Tamiya's BF 109E is still a great build. I really using Flory Dark Dirt Wash as a pin wash and "popping" it with an enamel oil filter.

MariusGreat progress, it will be a great model at the end. Is that the Aires resin cockpit set for the F-4F which you adapted?
18 April, 20:33
Raphael BernecoleThank you very much to everyone for your support and follow-up 🙂
@Marius : I had the SBS Models resin kit in stock for the Revell kit. This kit is well detailed but complicated to place in the Phantom. I recommend the Aires Kit, much superior in every way 😉

Robert PodkońskiWatching with interest - I have mine build "on hold" - I have noticed that either the side walls of the engines' shroud are to low, or the rear bulkhead (on which the exhausts are installed) is too high... What's your solution here?
4 May, 05:37
Tzonglin WuHi Robert,
I don't think I did a good job.
I just used cutting, sanding, puttying , and strong adhesive to find a way to stick them all together.
In fact, I am always in a state of wanting to give up. 😛
7 May, 02:14
Robert PodkońskiThanks for your reply, Tzonglin Wu 🙂 Your photos tell quite the opposite story...but I understand you well - I am back to this kit from time to time, attaching few pieces or sanding.., and then it resides quietly on a shelf for few days, or weeks...
