1/32 Tamiya F4-E RAAF Phantom

Gallery Article by Andrew Doppel on July 16 2010

 

This is the re-release 1/32 Tamiya F4-E Phantom (Early Production) which I recently finished in the markings of one of the 24 that were loaned to Australia whilst the RAAF awaited their F111Cs in the early 70s.

The kit has been advanced with the inclusion of the Verlinden Resin Cockpit set, AMS Resin intake covers, Aussie Decals and Tamiya RBF tags from their 1/32 F-15E 'Strike Eagle' kit.  The seat belts are scratch built as the Verlinden resin seats didn't come with belts but vague instructions.  

Paints used were Model Master enamels straight from the jar.
