Phantom F4-B
And it goes on and on and on and on! Some Work In Progress updates (and a vid showing the flashing lights!). I sorta almost feel like I'm starting to get somewhere with this now, but still a very long way to go.
So I've gone with an F4-B of VF - 161 "Chargers" from the USS Midway.
We got the electrics done last weekend, so a big thankyou to Richard FP once again :) The plan was to have all the body lights flashing with the wings tips constantly lit, but I'm 50/50 if the wings are going to be too much of a headache for the connection into the fuselage.
Whilst building this, I figured the pannels that I kept removing to attach / detach the wings may as well be made a bit of a feature, so some interior pipings gone in there (not for the faint hearted if your a purist!). The removable section of fuselage above the battery will also have this detail inside.
The rear section that now features brushed aluminium stickers was all built in dark grey and I really wanted it shiny! So, slightly thiner strips of aluminium vinyl have been applied (thus giving the join lines of the 1x2 curves) and a few other bits have been either chromed or sprayed metalic for the look I wanted....I know, I know, not purist, hey ho ;)
