Boatmans showtime phantom in 1/48th scale

[scottie3158]

Looking good Chris, the tail should be an easy fix.

[Jim R]

Looking forward to this all lit up in true "Boatman" style. Hope the tail fix went ok.

I just had a thought Chris. Probably too late for this build but maybe for your 1/32 F4. With your lighting skills a couple of bright LEDs up the tail thrust tubes with some appropriately coloured cotton wool and hey presto.......After Burners.
