Flash?

[ATTACH]59329.vB[/ATTACH]Hi All made a start on the Phantom, started to clean off some flash and do a bit of priming on the cockpit. I have one silly question (probable the first of many) not knowing a great deal about aircraft and or pilot equipment, can anyone tell me is the ridge on the helmet supposed to be there? I don't think it's part of the sun visor, however I may be wrong. sorry about the quality of the picture, the kit is a Revell 1/48 phantom c/d.

Many Thanks

Jim

I think that it is safe to remove that ridge. A bit hard to see in the photo, but I am pretty certain it's just the mould line.

Also while carrying them around the visor would most likely be covered with a black cloth to keep them clean and smudge free.

Many thanks Ian it will be duly removed.

Right then, I have made the fuba of all fubas:fool:, I did intend to do the Archangel 05 in 1/48, however in my lack of kit building experience and total nievity not to mention lack of thinking at the time have ordered 1/72 archangel decals. So realising my plank of a mistake have gone out and purchase a 1/72 phantom anniversary. So suffice to say i have jumped in at the peruvial deep end, and will now be attempting (and that's the operative word) the archangel and the black bunny.

Whops!

Easy mistake to make. Still plenty of time to do two....

Two Phantoms! I am contemplating it too, I found a cheapish F-4S, tempted. Just need a way of getting it without the account or a postman being spotted. Take care not to mix the 48 and 72 parts Jim!

Well after looking around Hannants last night I thought what's the point I have never used PE before and will wait until I have a bit more experience with kits first, so I got to work on the cockpits last night and here they are straight from the box. Sorry about the quality of the pictures.

Nice start on both pits Jim

[Guest]

Thanks Chaps I have asked Danny for some help with my camera, he has given me a few pointers that I will try. If I have any luck I will re-post the pit photos.

[Guest]

Danny's recomendations have worked :yes:, the light hadn't been as bright as I would have liked but there is a marked diffrence.
