Ooh so many parts look so fimiliar
I am not 100% sure but i think this is the base/donor kit for the eduard F-4B that i am building
It is a nice looking kit
I'm just curious but is there a SUU-16 gun pod in this kit ?
my kit has the pod but not the gun that is supossed to be in there
Anyways good luck with the build

Great choice for the build
Cool photo of the plane in your second photo; that is worth going on a wall
There will be some superb Phantoms done in this Vietnam build!

Looks like this is going to be an awesome build
I'm not really an airplane guy,but the Phantom is one of my favorite birds.

That Phantom looks ready for a MIG sandwich!
Great kit with lots of parts. Should make for nice build. Post lots of pictures please.

Sundowner Pilots and crews from the USS Coral Sea during the early 1970's in Vietnam war.
The Phantom I'm building was flown by Cdr Dan Pedersen.
Cdr Pedersen isn't credited with any Vietnam fighter planes shot down, so will have been involved in bombing raids.

This is where I'm up to now.
Start at the beginning with parts One & Two.
I'm also having a go at some photo etch as well ( I'm following a PDF on my Mac as the instruction with PE wasn't for a Phantom )
It's looking good so far.
Just needs a bit of tidying up.
