Keep the 2 HARM missiles and the ESM pod. My dad flew these for 20 years. I can get you actual photos of the WW . I love the 80s camo! keep up the awesome work. Your work has made me step up my game and I've learned so much from you videos. Thanks!!
Thank you for Sharing, I have the 1/32nd scale Phantom jet, I have been hesitating building it. after seeing your video I want to start mine. Awesome channel
Great video like your attention to detail. You asked a question about whether a competition judge would look down into the intakes at how the seams were treated. In a word, yes, because in recent years the quality of model kit builds has entered new levels of satisfaction and attention to detail. So, if there are aircraft in the top four that passed all the preliminary quality checks and one builder had paid particular attention to improving intake seams, that build is going to win.

I missed part 1 and was just thinking that I hadn't seen a video from you in a while. I've been on hiatus/in home DIY Hell, but I hope to be back to building shortly.
That is a nice looking kit with very good panel lines. When it comes to filling seams and gaps I just use CA glue now because I find other fillers take ages to dry and almost always shrink a bit. If I have heavy filling to do I use CA with a powder to thicken it. Kicker can be used to harden the CA very rapidly. The issue is that hard CA is harder than the plastic so I find the best way to "sand" it is with needle files but you need good ones, not far eastern cr@p, and I have also got some curved needle files that are very useful. With some magnifying lenses I can target just the CA filler so the plastic and surface detail can be preserved.
@@seanerk5kt9 interesting, do you think the alcohol is reacting with the pigments or the ca glue itself? ive recently adopted black ca as a filler and have had great results so far, but it's still a pain to sand, might give the alcohol a go. Not only this tip, but i've taken a lot of tips from your videos which has increased the quality of my models tenfold, thanks for the videos. edit: ive heard the white ca glue from dspiae is easier to sand again, so i might give that a try in the future too.
@@cameronfarrell9076 I can’t say for sure what is happening if I’m being completely honest. I’m guessing the ipa helps to dissolve the pigment just a tiny bit making sanding quicker. I’m glad you’re able to use some of the tips that have helped me.
Really good to see you back on a regular basis and really enjoying the Phantom build, thanks for sharing your thought processes as well as your skills
Great to see you back. Enjoying the F-4 build videos. All the best from the UK.
Super glad to see you back at it. Always great watching you build
In flight is my initial plan. Pilots I got from Burbanks House of Hobbies. Doing up a 1/48 scale Showtime 100 flown by Cunningham & Driscoll.
Good to see you back on the bench love your builds
Excellent work on the detailing, look 4ward to the nxt 1
Great to see you back Sean!
Thanks Scott!
I love the SEA camo on these birds. Looking forward to the final reveal with custom stand.

Nice kit😊
Thanks bro
very good work. AAre the pilots included inthe kit or they are extra? and if extra, can i have a reference sort to search them for? thnx in advance
I love the primer coat stage, all the surface detail seems to pop. Nice stash btw. What scale is your F14?.
1/32
what's in the cup?🙃
Did you buy reskit for seats
I bought the Quickboost seats…they look pretty nice
Just wanted to make sure this wasn't an error in your speech, you wet sand with isopropyl alcohol?
Yes. It seems to help cut through the CA glue and metallic pigment filler better

Did you complete your "to do" list?
I completed it after filming;)
@@seanerk5kt9 🤣🤣🤣
One thing i just don't buy Chinese model kits tiredof being ripped off
Remember also buying their kits funnels monies to CCP. :(
