Final build of 2024 - my completed Academy 1/48 F-4B Phantom
Nearly there with my Academy F-4B. Airframe done, decals on and a coat of satin varnish. Need to add wheels, centre line drop tank, inboard pylons, Sidewinders and Sparrows. Hope the canopy will be okay after the masking comes off!

Academy 1/48 F-4B continues. All the fuselage and most upper surface decals now on. The tail was a bit of a challenge as the decal doesn’t actually fit as illustrated on the instructions. Worked out pretty well though.

More decals added to the F-4B. They are going on really well but I can’t seem to get everything to fit in the correct place on the nose. As I add them they seem to get bigger and the space between them smaller!? No room for the “step” stencil in the correct place now!

My 1/48 Academy F-4B - a bit more progress. All the painting done on the airframe and starting to add the decals. Can’t fault these - printed by Cartograf - they are superb. Now for the 200 stencils…..

My 1/48 Academy F-4B getting closer to the end. Not liking this kit at all and will be glad when it’s finished!

Hello all. This is my first post so I hope it ends up in the right place! My modelling interest is mainly in 1/48 current military aircraft and here are four of my builds from this year. Comments welcome!
