Tamiya 1/72 F4D-1

[jeaton01]

Finished this one up today.  I was going to post in Completed Builds but I see that sub forum has no posts.  Is there a reason for that, other than no one has been rude enough to go first?

There is as usual with a Tamiya kit little to report in the way of anguish although the decals were old but that's just because I didn't build the kit soon enough, it has been in the stash for a long time and they liked to dis-assemble on the way off the paper.  Model Master Gull Grey over Tamiya Flat White.  There was a nice ADC scheme on the decals but everyone else has done that so I went with a Marine scheme.

I dunno what's going on but I can't see any of your pics John.

I don't know what's going on either, Joe. They were there, when I made the post, then I couldn't see them when I came back now. I started to edit the post to put them back in and they reappeared. I've had this happen in other posts as well. Its a mystery.

I put them back in and they went away again. Bummer. Here are links to the photos.

Very nice work, one to be proud of.

Very colorful build John. Looks like all the decals "behaved" for you bud.

Great job on your build, John. Nice and clean and it should be in a MUSEUM.

Very nice build. I kinda love the colorful schemes from before the low viz era.

Thanks, all!

OK, I was adding images using the image symbol in the center of the top bar.  I re-entered the images using the add image button on the top left, we will see if that solves the problem.

Well, we're seeing the pics now John and oooh baby is that a gorgeous Skyray. Fabulously done. Beautiful paint job and an amazing save on the decals. Thanks for sharing.
