Great paintjob! What is this color named? Reminds me on one of my old Beetles in "Diamantblau" ((diamond bllue)

Michael Kohl
Beautiful

Thank you both.

@Christian: Body color is RLM65, corresponding interior colors are the same.

Martin Oostrom
Great paint job indeed. And the colour really fits the car 👍🏻

nikfrost
Fantastic detail all round!

gorby
WOW! Stunning work.

bughunter
Exactly 👍 And some more pictures, also of details, would be nice.

Iain Ogilvie
Thanks for your interest gorby and bughunter!

These are some quick images I grabbed on Sunday - will get some better ones and post here.

Part 'traditional' sheet styrene (with a balsa wood core for the wings) and part CAD designed and printed parts for the details, such as engine, exhausts, undercarriage, cockpit details.

Built for a former owner of the full-size aeroplane.

Michael Kohl
Those teasers you threw at us wet the appetite for more. I fully second Bughunters request.

Dieter Bihlmaier
Hi Iain, will I see the model in Telford?

Iain Ogilvie
Hi Dieter - I would have to borrow it back from the person I built it for - so will possibly be at Telford, but not sure at this stage.

Bernhard Schrock
That's „true" modeling! Great result & execution. Chapeau! Could you add some WIP pictures please?

Robert Podkoński
Beautiful!

Skyhiker
How did you make ribs on the wings?

Iain Ogilvie
Thanks for your kind words Bernhard and Robert - appreciated!

I've just uploaded some 'in-progress' images - I may have more which I'll add if I find them.

I'll be taking some studio shots in next few days.

Great work!!👍🏻

Nathan Dempsey
Here's my Hasegawa 1:48 RF-4C completed. This was purchased from EBay and had the inner fuselage & Black Box cockpit prepped for assembly. Sadly the previous owner passed before any further work could be done. Excellent assembly by Mr. A.D. Frye on the cockpit made the rest of this build an absolute breeze. I hope he would have enjoyed how I completed the kit.

Arif Saeed
Great looking Spook Nathan 👏👏

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks Arif! It was a relaxing build.

Rando
Amazing recce Phantom, I love recon versions so I'll need to make one myself someday

Rui S
An eye catcher indeed 👍

Jennifer Franklin
It is an interesting story about the previous owner, which makes it unique, and it is a lovely end result that I am sure the previous owner would have appreciated.

Nathan Dempsey
Thank you Rando, Rui & Jennifer!

Jennifer: I felt almost honored to build this kit. You could tell that great care had been taken in the preparation of the resin cockpit as well as the fuselage interior in this area. The whole thing just dropped right in with no problems at all. I emailed the seller to enquire if I could have his father's name because he certainly deserved credit for his efforts.

I do like a double ugly in fancy dress 😋

Gary Victory

Nathan Dempsey
Thank you CaptGPF & Tommy 🙂

Clifford Keesler
Beautiful F-4 sir.

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks Clifford! 🙂

John E
That's really cool that you honored Mr. Frye. I think he would have loved the outcome.

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks John! It makes me happy to hear that. Judging from Mr. Frye's work on the cockpit he was headed towards something dazzling.

Neil
Beautiful work 👏

Guy Rump
Great result! 👍

Dutch
Nathan, beautiful work on the recent Phantom.

LC76
this sounds like quite a fun and unique idea

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks LC76. Welcome to the build!

Torsten
LOL, follow ^^

Robert Podkoński
Watching for sure!

Nathan Dempsey
Welcome Torsten & Robert!
I've started the fuselage assembly and clamps were needed.

Dutch
Nathan, I am following along as well. I have friends in eastern Ukraine, so very interested in this one. Kind regards, Dutch

F-104
A challenging kit, lots of filler and sanding. Cockpit is very nice resin though.

Japan bought 1 D.H. Vampire T11 in 1956 for evaluation. No orders followed.
