1/48 Italeri Phantom RF4E

I built this kit straight from the box, but I did find almost the identical aircraft on a site called "aviation images-aircraft in detail" to use as a reference.  I bought a cheap Revell airbrush just to see how I got on and I think the results aren't to bad although I couldn't do any fine detail with it.

Reading the comments of some of the other contributors I think Italeri are not the best quality to work with as some of the joins didn't fit too well and needed a lot of filler and sanding and the canopy didn't fit well either.

I'm going to use the comments and tips from this site to improve my skills .
