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.

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.
