Phantom "What If"

[Eddie M.]

Another one finished. I guess I'll call it either the F-4X or F-4DD  Super Phantom aka Phat Phantom  Working with 1:144 is kinda fun. Which leads to my next project....

Eddie, it looks great finished...the first word that comes to mind when I see this bird is THRUST! It just looks like it could just keep going all the way to the moon if you punched it!

It's also quite burly lookin' like it could take quite a pounding before it opens it's own can of Whup donkey!

Yowzers ! That's just awesome, Eddie !

Great job for such a wee scale. Takes up alot less space as well, eh ? So you can build twice as much !

But, I like you big stuff better. Lots of detail.........

Thanks !

Hot DAMN, man------the screen is positively sizzling now!

Can't believe you pulled this off in 1:144


We're not worthy.....!

Holey snapping death from above! That looks awesome. I can't wait for Lee's comments.

Uh oh! Is he a F-4 purist? Wait a minute, how can he be if he comes here, right?

He's actually anti-F-4 to the end.

How can anyone be anti-F-4? That's like Bigfoot. I didn't think people like that existed. I guess he wouldn't want to see the four I have now, huh? Just kidding. To each his own.

I've recently finished three F-4 Phantom pilot (Viet Nam) autobiographies and two things each of the authors agreed was the amount of punishment their airplane could endure and that they too considered the Phantom one uuuuuugly plane.

I know an airplane's aesthetic appeal means nothing to those who fly them in combat: capability and survivability are everything.

But, Eddie, your modified version is simply fantastic, IMHO!!!

Eddie, your, hum, airplane model, is, hum, special, eh!





Can't wait for the Über-Bolt!

Ollie, you can say it, this is the Elephant Man of the Phantom world. For me, it's like the freak show at the carnival. You can't stop staring, even if it's not polite.
That's why I did the tiger stripes, to really mix it up. A regular grey paint job would have made it ugly AND boring. ^_^ It's a 2 at 10 and a 10 at 2.

Looks way cooler than a real phantom, IMO.

Nice work it kicks a$$!

Thank you to everyone for the compliments. This was a fun build and Phatso has a prominate place on my shelf with my other hybrids. Now I'm thinking of doing one in a larger scale, just so I could add the detail it deserves.
