Congratulations too your beautiful Phantom. She is stunning! I'm glad you got though the decals without any long term damage ;-). Nice to see that you already picked up a new project.
Cheers

Kenny, Top job! Weathering is perfect and wow, do those colors pop in the sunlight! I've got the phantom bug and want to build a 'proper' phantom, (ie not a derelict shell from a crap kit like my GB)...this paint scheme is talking to me..., just as well because the Good Morning Da Nang kit seems to have disappeared from stock everywhere last time I looked. The mark of a good build is when it makes someone want to have a go at it themselves...on that front this is a winner!

Thanks guys. The decals were a huge test in patience, but I think that paid off. I really really like the colors as well. I originally picked the scheme because I wanted something in blue, and then it just kept getting better and better as I got more paint on it. I just regret that I didn't figure out the building the intakes off the plane for ease of filling the step like others did after I got past my intakes. The combination of stencils and intakes has me scared away from jets for a little while. Probably going to build a nice prop plane or 2 before I go back to a jet. Kenny
