Hot off the workbench tonight. Had a blast with this one although the decals proved to be tricky due to being extremely thin. Got there with them in the end though. Paint was a bitch to get right as the real aircraft uses standard car paint that proved too difficult to track down. Think i got real close with the blue but due to metallics having a grain in them i just could not get the gold spot on. looks ok to me though so hopefully it will pass.

Phabulous Phantom!! As beautiful a paint scheme as I ever saw! Thanx a megabyte for sharing excellent photos! Only plane paint as unusual I've see are some from a Canadian team. Your decal work is as good as the paint. Not seeing the interior too well, it looks like some photo etched parts maybe? Or was the kit that well detailed? Super work, makes my day after snow blowing for my neighborhood!
