McDonnell Douglas F-4E Phantom - Minicraft 1/144

[Guest]

Dear mates I just started this new project for a Phantom in 1/144.

The kit is quite old with positive panel lines but better fit than the Viggen.

First step is to rescribe panel lines, cut the flaps and open the cockpit.

Then we move to the cockpit

I'm sure I built that kit back in the 70s. Yours is looking much better than mine did Great work so far!

Thank you mates.

I will build this OOB, that will be the "Positive thinker" flown by Col. John Nelson, CO of 388th TFW in Karat, 1969. Unfortunately kit's decals are not so good.

I'm sure I built that kit back in the 70s. Yours is looking much better than mine did Great work so far!

I will never believe my build can look better than yours, even if from the 70's.

Great start Francesco the tub detail you've added really stands out. I did two 1/144 Phantoms for the Vietnam SIG ( Revell )
