1/48 Hasegawa F-4J (UK) Phantom II

--------------------

 

The cockpit is built with Eduard and ejection seat come from True details. Not difficulties for the construction, but the painting of the aircraft demands attention for the blue-gray skin. In reality the aircraft were painted in the USA, applying a bluer than normal gray over a particularly gaudy yellow primer.
