Hi, here are a few more Phantoms for you. First up is a 1/48 Hasegawa F-4C with aftermarket decals. I used the KMC detail set for the cockpit. Highly recommended.

Next a Hasegawa 1/48 British FG1 with aftermarket decals and a Hasegawa 1/48 F-4E with decals that should have gone on a F-15, but I do Phantoms, so there. (I did the 335 sq F-15E too, but at a later date).  When I did these two, around 3 or 4 years ago they were on a shelf right beside the clothes dryer. The got real dusty real fast.   Hence the easy to dust gloss coat. Sometimes practical outranks realism.

These last three pictures depict 20 USAF phantoms, mostly 1/72 Hasegawa but some Fujimi as well.16 US Navy Phantoms, Hasegawa and Fujimi, 6 more USN, 4 USMC and one Canadian in 416 sq markings. We can dream right?

I might post some more Phantoms one of these days. I have 19 left in the stash, 80 built in total and who knows how many retired to the bone yard in the sky.
 
Thanks again to Emil Varosi for taking the photos and helping me with this report.
