Oh it's the flying brick.
This year the german Airforce is decomisioning it this year.
Nice build so far.
Are you going to build a naval Phantom?

Wow, great pit, gorgeous bangseats, seemless intakes and 111 markings? I'll follow this build for sure! Is that your first model kit? It looks as you are building for years!

For a first build it looks awesome! It do help though that you've chosen a really great kit to build but you show serious talent. This I'm gonna follow as a future reference as I also have this kit in my stash. An advice though, I've heard that the gear is impossible to fix in place if you skip 'em 'til the end of the build as is common as they should be installed when called for in the instructions. I don't know if it's really so but that's what I've heard.

Nice detail Tammy! I saw a lot of F4s at the Air Force Base I was stationed at here in Anchorage. Can't wait to see the finished model!

@Urban - yes the gear is impossible to fit, learnt that the hard way - no worries though I picked up the aftermarket set for it. So yes, definitely leave until last

Excellent work. Maybe you can but the scent of "old cockpit" on it to make it even more realistic!!

Tammy that is exceptional, even for a first time ever. I hope you continue on with the hobby and have a blast. Who knows, you may become a heck of a historian.

Unbelieveable fast and spectacular clean built!
It seems you must be a Borg Queen! 🙂)
You`ve assimilated your mentor and the collective has integrated his knowledge!
No, no, no I would never ever come to Australia`s model competition! If you are there I`ll be assimilated in a short time!

Coming along really well Angel, only if all of us experienced modellers could have built their first model as good as yours we would look back with pride, well done. Oh you have to finish it before 25th October so you can enter it in a model comp in Sydney.

Hello Tammy. I haven't built many kits but I can tell when one is made well. Looks great! 👍 My first kit and my first aircraft certainly didn't look that good. How many hour went into the decals? 🙂

Cheers all. I have made a little Bell chopper since this. @ Alan the decals took couple of days and a great deal of cursing and perseverance. @ Bill -Mikey's still the master. He inspires me.
