Cool. We’ll have another month, but I’m pretty easy if anyone needs a bit more after that.

How do we all like @Btwosan s medal?

Thanks again for doing that, much better than I managed!

Never managed to start one so I’ll jump in next time we do a phantom campaign.

I like the medal a lot fwiw.

thanks for running this.

Thanks.

We’ll see if we get any interest in another Phantom campaign next year or the year after. Can definitely propose it again.

The only campaign I’m considering is a Star Trek 60 campaign. The SF pages are popular so we might see a lot of interest with that.

I might do something for a Star Trek campaign. That’s very different for me, but I do love TOS.

Cool.

Do we want to use the blue ribbon or go for a red, blue and white stripes? Might try to get the date on it too.

I had planned to do some today, but we ended going over to see my parents. They haven’t long got back from a holiday and haven’t seen them for a month or so. With any luck nothing will come up tomorrow to prevent me!

Got the mounting pegs drilled and fitted into the outboard pylon today and ECM pod cleaned up.

And firing handles fitted to the seats. Had forgot to do this ages ago! Afterburners also painted up and ready for a dark wash and pigments.

Is it possible to get a months extension on this?

All armaments and cockpit is done and the bird is fully constructed, but still need a month for painting and decals.

Would that be doable?

Yes another month is fine.

Looking forward to seeing it.

Cool. I’m happy to allow an extra few days after if it’s needed.

I think I’ve got all the little jobs done this weekend. Just canopy to mask and fit and she’ll be ready for some paint. Oh and get the missiles sorted out.

Here is how far I am now. Just a few more touch ups and then a gloss coat and decals :slightly_smiling_face:

Looking really good.

Afraid I have managed anything myself so I think I’m going to have to admit defeat. Will carry on and keep everyone updated.

Silly question. Are you planning on doing another Phantom campaign or a Cold War one?

Not myself, but if anyone else wants to give it a they’re more than welcome. The only one I’ve given thought to is a Star Trek campaign as next year marks 60 years since the original series first aired.

There might be a campaign coming that an F-4 would perfectly into though. Best to keep a lookout in the proposals.

Decalling almost done. It is beginning to look very colorful! :slightly_smiling_face:

I hate to be asking again - but could I get an extension to mid November? Got called away on a business trip all next week and do not want to rush it over this coming weekend. sorry to be asking again :disappointed_face:

Yeah, sure no worries. Completely understandable.

I won’t be doing much myself on anything for at least a week. We have a new addition to the family we’re going to visit this weekend and then off on a week’s break.

Take your time to get it finished up.
