I finally got some primer on this. Which revealed yet more filling was needed. Ive done yet more filling and scribing . Its not perfect.But ive had enough. Cant believe Hannants are selling the latest boxing of this kit for£35!. I paid £2 as part of a job lot. About what its worth i reckon!. Unfortunately if you want a 1/48 F4E with the slatted wing, this is the only kit out there.Im working in Glasgow the next 5 days. So i hope to start painting it when im home next week.[ATTACH]280219[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]280220[/ATTACH]

Battling on Dave, looks good in the pics. Look forward to seeing the paint job. I'm pretty much at the same stage on mine.

Thanks Joe. Unfortunately work is getting in the way of my modelling these days.Started building this whilst working in Scotland. Then i went down to the south of England to work on 737cl & ng. Now im back at British Airways in Glasgow on A320. If im lucky i might get a few hours to start painting this next week.

You sound very busy Dave, but the Phantom is coming along nicely.

All the hard work and frustration will be worth it in the end. I've had the house to myself for a few days and was looking forward to some quality bench time but of course work got in the way.

That makes at least three of us including Rick. Aviation gets in the way of modelling.

I lost interest in this build about 6 months ago. Mainly because I did so much filling and sanding that I lost most of the panel detail. I should have scribed it on before all the sanding. Anyway, I've decided to finish it as it is. I've put the second of the 3 camo colours on the upper surfaces tonight.

Sometime its just nice to get a kit off the table Dave. Looking good though.

Ive sprayed some of the 3rd cano colour on to see what it looks like. And im quite happy with the Tamiya and Humbrol paint colours ive chosen to use.Im off to catch a flight back to Glasgow for my next 4 day shift now.

Looks really good. Something a little different and eye catching.
