Tuning in for the show - cockpit already looks fab, incl. the mission-read elements! 👍🏻

I've uploaded more photos that document the build progress, which has been very slow. Sorry about that, but life keeps getting in the way. I've had a variety of health issues and I'm heading to the oncologist next week to set up a time for a biopsy on some nodes in my neck. Hopefully it's just related to a sinus infection I've been fighting and not the lymphoma coming back. Keeping my fingers crossed. Cheers, Bill

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too, Bill. Great job on the model btw. Keep it up!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes well with your health, Bill. 🍀

I also keep my fingers crossed that everything will be fine with your health.

I used up a few bottles of semi-gloss white, but the Victor is now a "white whale." Thanks for the kind words on my health - I go in on Feb. 29 for a sinus surgery and tissue collection for biopsy. Fingers crossed. I tried to cross my toes but was unsuccessful... Cheers, Bill

Hope the biopsy doesn't find anything bad Bill.
The Victor looks excellent so far.

Oh, by the way - after two weeks (!) of testing my oncologist decided the biopsies were negative. Dodged another bullet.

Thanks mates. I've added a couple more photos that show the painting of the landing gear and air brake internals. I've also painted the wheels, gear doors and air brake petals (photos soon). Up next is to paint the dielectric panels on the underside as well as the H2S radome. Cheers, Bill

Two more photos added showing some detail painting. I'm off to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware tomorrow for a week of spending what's left of my retirement portfolio. Unfortunately there are no hobby shops anywhere near where we'll be. But the Air Mobility Command museum at Dover AFB should make up for that.

Nearing the finish line on this one. The stickers are all on, and I really like how they performed. Hardly any film outside the design, and they snuggled down nicely with the usual solvents. I didn't see any silvering. Next up will be a few coats of a semi-gloss clear, and then I can attach the remaining bits. It's been a long build, but it was interrupted several times. Next project will be smaller! Cheers, Bill

That is an exceptionally clean build and paintjob, I am super impressed with the decals too.

Thanks everyone. It took me more than a year to build it, but I think it was worth it. Now, where to put it? Cheers, Bill

I also wonder about the same question (where to put it), that's why mine is still in the box 🙂 . Beautifully done, Bill, congrats on such a great result. Please do share once you have an idea for how to show it off permanently 🙂

En fait, je suis surtout un maquettiste nostalgique qui prend beaucoup de plaisir à retrouver ces madeleines de Proust après y avoir longtemps résisté. Très bien vu cher Sonny Tuckson 🤠 Mais la photo de John Belushi dans 1941 correspondait mieux au côté aéronautique.

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.

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

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.

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.

Very nice work Nathan. Not often you see a reccon Phantom. Top work Sir.

Stunning looking Phantom Nathan! Every year I tell myself... "this is the year to build one myself" lol... dreams are free! Also coming soon to DCS... Youtube Video

That's really cool that you honored Mr. Frye. I think he would have loved the outcome.
14 May, 13:39

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

Thanks Dutch! Also thanks Neil & Guy! I must have missed your comments in May. I'm thinking of taking this along with the Su-25 builds to Modelpalooza in October. I have a vendor table so I'm definitely going.

I think their website is Modelpalooza.org, but I sent you a PM because I have an email that has all the url links that I can forward to you.

Cool to see some Vessels of the IJA´s "mini-navy" built 👍 There are definetly some interesting vessels among them. Looking forward to more!
Evil toungs might of course argue that the Imperial Japanese Army had ships for one reason only: to battle their eternal rival and foe... the Imperial Japanese Navy!

Thanks Tom! I also have the Five Star Shimane Maru and Kumano Maru IJA carrier kits. Five Star does a really nice job on these kits - minus the instructions - with their resin hulls and PE detail pieces. Interesting vessels and color schemes indeed!
And you're not kidding about the rivalry between the IJN and the IJA. I've read a few books on the Japanese side of the war and you'd think they were mortal enemies, and not supposed to be fighting on the same side!

I am afraid to see what this ones going to cost. The price of plastic kits these days i getting ridiculous for the average modeler on a budget.

I don't think that Magic Factory is aiming to be a budget brand. More basic kits like those from Takom's Blitz line are still incredibly reasonably priced for example.

I'll keep an eye on the Chinese market and let you guys know the local reference price as soon as it is available. Than you can think about if the importers and hobby stores in your countries are ripping you off or not. 😉

Ebay has some direct from China sellers. Can get for next to store price. That's where I'll get mine from.
13 July, 21:28
![](/profiles/img/93516-101-s.jpg)
Ya its sad we have to buy elsewhere due to price but it is a choice I utilize to get a better price for sure. Just make sure its a seller in China who packs models correctly and ships promptly or your going to wait over a month and get a broken kit. Always check feedback first.
14 July, 19:24
![](/profiles/img/126391-191-s.jpg)
I do. I have a good three that I can trust and have had great experience with and no issues
14 July, 22:01
![](/profiles/img/132974-828-s.jpg)
I stopped buying from China - kits always broken and forever to arrive and for all that they make about a 1000% profit.
25 July, 23:54
![](/profiles/img/132974-828-s.jpg)
Yep. Multiple transactions with just one kit. Difficult to break paints
28 July, 00:22

I think you should mind your own business. No one was addressing you so keep pious nose out of it!

My oh my, no need for all this, modelers need to come together like gun owners do. We are all on the same team!
