This is the
other half of my bash all my spare parts into 2 usable kits. This kit
combines the wings of a newer issue F-4J and the fuselage of a early
(1980's) Hasegawa kit. Main problem I had was a bunch of warped parts.
The
landing gear I had was next to useless. So it was time to build gear up.

The next question was what
to mount the landing- gear-less model on. Well.......I "borrowed"
a stand from my daughters "Barbie". At this point I still was
not sure exactly which J Phantom I was going to make.
Next
question....well ok I have a in-flight model.....but its boring. So looking at
my copy of Lou Drendils "And Kill Migs", I noticed a illustration of
Cunningham and Driscols 5th Mig kill. Perfect, I even had the Yellowhammer
decals in the stash.
Once everything was
mounted I had to figure a way to show a in flight Sidewinder. I attached a
sewing pin to the Sidewinder and simply glued it to the missile rail with a
little cotton to represent smoke.
