Welcome to the Second SIG of 2013.

[Ian M]

Thanks to all that have signed up for this one, lets hope we all join in. (I just seen that the Hummer SIG is missing two starters but early days yet).

Right then.

Build a Phantom Jet. Any Scale. Any Nation, any any amount of extras you want to throw at it.

Remember to post loads of photos, ask questions as needed and have fun.

Any questions and general chat about THIS SIG can be posted in this thread.

Happy building.

I would love an excuse to build a Phantom. Forgive my ignorance, but if I'm looking for a Vietnam era model in 1/72, what should I search for? I know they were flown in Navy, Marines and USAF colours, but I'm not sure who had the C/D or J or whatever.

Thanks.

[Dave W]

I'm not very knowledgeable about non RAF Phantoms.But I know the F4C was a Vietnam era fighter armed with missiles only.Infact Colonel Robin Olds reckons he would have shot down more Migs if he'd had a gun on his Phantom.Thats the one I fancy doing if I can find a suitable kit.

[Ian M]

Taken that all three US services where tied up in Vietnam for so long I think you would be able to find something for any mk from the F4E which I think was the first one used there.

Best bet? Pick a service, pick a colour and then find a kit to fit it!

I know it's not started yet but I'm getting pretty enthusiastic about this!.Heres the one I'm thinking of doing if I can find what I need.

[Dave W]

Forgot to say its Robin Olds F4C Mig killer 'Scat XXVII'

[Ian M]

Nice one Dave. I believe Revell do a 4C in 1/48 scale. The Decals might be a problem though.

I will try our friends Hannants for the Decals Ian.

I will try our friends Hannants for the Decals Ian.

Quite a few for scat II and III, but cant see any for XXVII...

I've seen great reviews for the Academy 1/48 F4B. Maybe that's the way to go.

After reading your post about the missing canopies,Ive asked my local hobby shop to get one in for me.So I can check it before I buy.

[Guest]

Hi Dave.. Was in my local shop today, the owner still hasnt received the canopies from the supplier.. terrible way to treat a retailer.
