Yeah , it's a real nice one.

Kinda scared of making it though.

This is an as good excuse as any to get my Good Evening Da Nang built, I'll give it a crack!

Post by **Vleugelmoer** » Tue Jul 19, 2016 7:16 pm

I got my Noy's Miniatures base in from Hannants today.

I'll be placing my F-4E on this base as the build itself will take some time with all the aftermarket going into it

Saw Tim's post about a Hasegawa 1/48 British F4 and it's price tag on the FB page. In my stash I have the FG Mk I but I've already painted the seats so can't use it for this build but I have a couple of Eduards to choose from though sadly not Spey-engine.

Was at Duxford and came across this big beauty so I thought I'd leave it here in case anyone does want to build a Brit F4.

Post by **Avgas** » Wed Jul 20, 2016 1:16 pm

That's a 'J' model Will with the GE engines and smaller intakes. I know it's a Brit F4 so to speak but not a Brit spec one with the Speys.

Cheers Dave. I did wonder. Knew the RAF got hold of some in the 80s.

Good job, Other Paul and Guy.

Ill be doing Tamiya's 1/32 j. Had it in the stash for a while, itching to start it. Was going to use it for the tamiya gb but as that's oob, I wouldn't be able to do the Brit version. This is the perfect sig to do it now!

I am in, never done done a jet before, so I dived right in at the deep end and ordered a tamiya 1/32 from flea bay.

I like the cut of your jib sir!

Post by **Lysus** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 6:47 pm

Brave soul...I'm a coward. That's while I'll put a 1/72 in my basket for a while then probably buy a 1/48 that costs twice as much...

Wait...my process sucks.

Post by **Thomas2542** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 9:11 pm

I wouldn't mind joining if I can get a kit. I was going to get one from creative models but they all sold out.

Post by **Avgas** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 9:16 pm

Keep an eye out, they'll more than likely have some more on special by October. The specials go up every Thursday around 2pm.

You could have a look on www.super-hobby.com or www.plastmodel.pl they have large numbers stocked at good prices and cheap shipping to.... what more can a modeler ask for.

I got my kit in today will post pics soon.

Would love to have you join though.

If you are so intent in not doing a rocking rhino, Eduard also does a mean Da Nang and US Bicentennial F-4 that might be more up your street

Yes, I like those two also...you guys are a bad influence.
