1/48 Hasegawa F-4E - Phantom #138

Gallery Article by Shawn "phantom" Weiler on July 26 2011

 

My 138th Phantom. This one was built for the Sharkmouth group build. It's the Hasegawa F-4E kit with 110FS squadron right on the box.  Most of the decals are from the kit. Some are from Repli-Scale. The Hasegawa decals tended to be more ivory then white where required. The Repliscale however while an excellent colour tended to be over size or oddly shaped, for example the "SL" tail code was just wrong looking as were the Repliscale shark teeth.

Mind you the "30th anniversary wording was much closer to the correct size by my eye then the Hasegawa markings.
