This is my
first submission which I thought would be good for silly week.
A couple of
months ago my model club had a small group build, we all brought the same
Tamiya F-4G Phantom and we could build it in any way we wanted. Most
built the phantom as is, but a couple of us built it into
something else, here is my version.
I started with
sanding off all the raised lines, cut out 30mm from the middle also cut
out the arrester hook area. Then I raided the junk box.

A old F-15 was mainly used eg.
canopy, tails, exhausts (which fitted the F-4 exhausts inside). I also raided
some sea eagles missiles off a sea harrier and the intakes are off a
F-18 and turned upside down. I still had a phantom shape wing in plan view so I
cut off the ends and swapped them over. It was great fun to build and got some
interesting looks at the club meeting, hope you like it.
