    Kressy's Eduard 1/48 bicentennial phantom

    Hi guys. I'll be building this for the group build. First time with resin so that should be interesting. The fabric belts look quite nice though. Am going to build this as the aircraft from VF-111 "sundowners".


    Cheers.

              Looks nice. This must be the best Phantom kit on the market at the moment.

                Nice one. I might have to have a look at the Eduard kit one day. How does it compare to the Hasegawa one? Any one know?

                  Sorry Ian, got no idea. Only other phantom I have is the academy one which is the same plastic as the Eduard kits.


                  Cheers.

                    Hi all, trying to get a chance to get onto this but its just been too bloody hot. Where I do my models is away from the air con and the average temp has been around 36 degrees. Hopefully i'll get a chance soon to make a start. Looking at all the other great kits makes me want to get into it.

                        Erm? Something to do with a Group Build maybe? Join in Gavin if you like, it runs for six months and the more the merrier.

                          36 degrees? You're not living in the top half then. There's plenty of time mate.

                            Thanks for the offer, but I unfortunately I can't commit - my time is not mine to offer....

                              Yea, down under mate. That was actually one of the cooler days. Had a week of about 42 during the day. Hahaha. Managed to actually cut some plastic so some progress has been made.
