Hmmm.  A Phantom.  Who would have thought another was in the yard waiting to be built?  Or the 30 still IN the yard waiting to be built.  This is number 189.  Also one of 4 remaining big scale 1/32 Phantoms.

It's the Revell F-4E kit.  The non slatted stab was taken from a RF-4 kit.  The decals are a 15 year old sheet from Airdoc.  The model chosen is the first German fighter Phantom.  Later in life it was repainted to be the bright blue and gold scheme in which the Germans flew for the retirement of this awesome aircraft.  Might still do that scheme one day in 1/48. 

So we now have 4 of these huge Phantoms on the shelf…..And around 6 more to make. In addition to the 30 or so still to make in 1/48.
