For Guy's build I'm doing the old revell kit with loads of Eduard after market and 2 sets of aftermarket decals and a resin cockpit. I love a good challenge!

Bret, thanks for joining in on the fun of this SIG. I like the you have opted to go big on this on and also chose to do so with that base kit 
. I'll keep an eye on the build whilst working on my own.

Hi guys and thanks, I purposely chose an older Revell kit so i could show cleaning it up and that old kits can be made to look nice with a little work. Enjoy!

Saweet, what an excellent approach to this build. Spreading the knowledge is what keeps the hobby aliveHIghAltitudeScale wrote:Hi guys and thanks, I purposely chose an older Revell kit so i could show cleaning it up and that old kits can be made to look nice with a little work. Enjoy!
. Looks like you have got a complete scaled down version of all the aftermarket I got 
. The only thing that's a bit weird to me is the photo of 32nd scale decals for a 48th scale aircraft. Or are those a precautionary purchase just in case you need some extra filler??Re: Revell 1/48 F-4E Phantom

The good ol' Monogram. Loved their F-4 kits. So sad they're eaten by Revell and hard to get over here in the EU.
Hope you get the AM in and a nice F-4 out

Glad I brought some popcorn from the farmers market. I'm going to enjoy this one. I hope I learn some tricks (modeling tricks) 
Glad you come for the fun, Bret.

Are those recessed panel lines? ScaleMates shows the timeline of your kit going back to the original tool of my 1979 Monogram C/D, but my kit has raised panel lines.
