This is a 1/48 Hasegawa
F-4F Phantom using Cutting Edge decals. Nice looking decals apart from one minor
problem. Instead of starting with a small replaceable decal I started with the
big one. A horse, a horse which broke into a hundred small pieces
when it came into contact with the water. Therefore the horse on the port side
is hand painted except for the tail. The remaining decals received a healthy
dose of decal film applied so they would end up usable. Even with that the
starboard side had a fair amount of cracking which also needed repair.

The model itself went
together with no problems. Except that I think I am now out of single piece
canopies for future builds. You build a model enough times they better start
going together with few difficulties.
Enjoy the photos.
