Amazing build, love the detail. What tape did you use to mask off for the sanding? Looks thick and rubbery.

LOL! That tape was a freebie from my Tamiya International magazine subscription! It's not as good as the Yellow Tamiya tape for paint masking, but it's thick enough for sanding and scribing.

Thank you for the kind words, Spanjaard, Michael and Guy! I used the Meng F-4 as a reference for where the rivets had to go, as well as the spacing 😀

Thank you for the kind words Thomas / Daniel / Nathan / Jennifer and Shar! I love jets -me specially ones that are armed to the teeth with pew-pews and boom-booms!

Every time this one comes up in the feed I get the urge to crack open a few more Phantoms. Inspiring work CaptGPF.

Thanks everyone for the kind words Dick / Rui / Olivier & Nathan! Still have a ways to go with weathering - but I'll get there someday! 😀

LOL! I will have to redo that base as it isn't quite accurate compared to a real carrier deck. So many kits, so little time. 😀

Always good to see this one in the feed. I'm going to peer into my unbuilt one's box now…

Album info
VF-84 dates back to WW2 where they served in the Pacific Theatre flying the vaunted F4-U1 Corsairs. Outside of the VF-111 Sundowners, the Jolly Rogers are easily one of the most recognizable squadrons in the USN - made even more infamous in the movie The Final Countdown.
