Well I mean a jet is a jet I mean a 8 year old jet is fine i would go back for it. It is extremely hard to build but I learend the push rods can turn and that made life easier and the plane is beautiful 🤩 so yes I would bye JA1170 Squad

You went back eight years for that???? Really. Not a good way to start here.

Ye been watching that channel too there s a couple. They have done an awesome job. Great find Steve.

Yeah LB, the crew has really been working hard on their F-4D and the F-100, too. Love seeing all the action. I'm also waiting for the chance to see them both fly in person. Maybe Roswell Air Races. We'll see!

Gentlemen,

This should make y'all smile.

It certainly tickles the heck outta me.

Davegee,
Hopefully FW will introduce a 110edf size with more scale detail, landing gear, scale full cockpit, etc. Fingers crossed.

Best Regards, Rex

Rex: I'm Totally IN if they do that or with some other plane like that! I always hold out hope that someday someone will come out with a similar F-105 Thunderchief. May never happen, but these latest offerings with Chris Wolf having a say in things at MRC, perhaps they will!

Cheers

I was able to spray the lite grey on the top today, looking nice. Couple more colors for the fuselage then will mask the tail for the sunburst. Will use Elbee;s idea to spray first color before the red and hopefully no seepage.
Best Regards, Rex

Coming along great, Rex! Makes me want to do another F-4 someday.

Enjoy the pics and updates on your Phantom.

Cheers

After several lite coats of scale white to cover the gray primer I have the stab/rud and lower fuselage painted. Still wet and drying in pics. Going to let dry out for a few days before I do the top

Thanks Elbee. I have almost all the seam covered and what is left shows very little. Those glue joints are really hard to get cleaned up. If I remember right, I cut a small V on my Corsair and filled with filler. Slept a night or two and forgot. LOL
Best Regards, Rex

[Elbee]

... that center seam is really hard to get seamless. I have sealed and primed, sanded but every time I prime some of it shows thru.

Rex,

The foam glue won't sand and is always right on the surface in a sandwich seam.

The only way I know to fix that is to cut a shallow groove from each side of the seam and remove the glue and foam and do the filler/sand until it's gone to your satisfaction.

I did that to a couple parts on my Flightline Corsair turtledeck.

Best, LB

f4uausie,
Thank you.
100 flights, that's great. I haven't flown mine yet and will have our turbine jet expert do the test flight. I will get a sport edf to fly before I fly this one. Lots of time in doing this so I'll need jet practice.
Guess your going into your winter months soon, are you going to modify anything new? If so, please post your progress.
Best Regards, Rex
