Stuck in Clemson this weekend, so I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up some 1/144 kits to help ease the stress of school.
I haven't built a 1/144 aircraft kit in years, but so far these are just fun little things to take a break from school stuff.
These are What If aircraft of course, since I'm trying to optimize the fun factor of them.
The F-15 will be a CF-155A and one of the F-4E will be in Phil AF "Blue Diamond" markings.
The other F-4E will have an aggressor splinter scheme applied.
You could always apply the "TSR2 Killer" markings to them also...:)

Especially on the Phantom !
:P
Enjoy your relaxation, eh !
:cheers:
What's the TSR 2 killer scheme? I'm not familiar with it. :huh:
Here's another pic of the aircraft and other parts painted
closer view of the aircraft
Last pic for the night
Not the best models in the world, but I have the bare minimal supplies with me. About 5 bottles of paint, cement, white glue, scotch tape and a knife set is all I have.
For someone with minimal supplies Keith, you're doing a bloody good job on those kits.
Looking good Keith, even with a minimum of supplies you're doing a good job.

Thanks Lancer and Patrick. I'm not used to work with so little supplies and working in a dorm room. I just needed a little break in between studying to maintain my sanity.
Here's an update pic of the Phil AF F-4E and the CAF CF-155A
My favorite method of making a What If aircraft is slapping some Philippine, Canadian or Israelis markings on it ;)
The other F-4E didn't turn out well and the camo was seriously botched using scotch tape, so I simulated Triple A fire by putting a hammer to it.
all that remains of the CF-155 are the custom decals
head on shot of the Phantom
the bottom
both Phantom kits came with missiles for the inboard station, so I cut off some fins to represent Sparrows in the missile wells
Top Falls Down
I wanted a F-15 style camo applied to it
The Phantom is totally complete
It's markings represent the 6th TFS at Basa AB I think? I'm sure about the 6th TFS, not sure about Basa though. It's marked up as a Blue Diamonds Demo Team jet #4
Who's Phil and why does he have his own Air force?
Neat little kits and bloody great job with no supplies. I wanna see the AAA victim though.
And the TSR2 killer scheme is any paint wrapped around any Phantom :P
I should have mentioned, my middle name is Philip ;)
As for the ill fated Phantom, sorry no pics, and it's already down the trash shoot. Although while doing laundry, I found an intact ejection seat, so maybe the pilot or wso got out safely.
And thanks for the info on the TSR 2 killer scheme. :)
Looking good Mr. Squirrel !
When are them CDN decals going on ?
:wub:
Thanks El Capitain. I haven't made the decals yet on my computer, but it shouldn't take long. I'm thinking about using the Cougar Sqaudron markings since I have a Testors 1/48 CF-188B in those markings, so that would probably be easiest. I'll probably get back to it sometime after my fall break that starts Friday.
Phillipino Phantoms, cool B)
