Hello,

I planned on doing a build thread for this model but I never found the time. I have many partially completed models that I lose interest in or find something I don't like.
This model is still not complete but I thought I would show you what I have so far.
I bought this model from ecardmodels.com

More pictures, the plane is not glued on the stand and the canopy is not glued either.

Thanks,

It is under John Bowden (Ken West repaint) on ecardmodels. I added a few more details in gimp, like William Holden in the cockpit.

Well done my friend, is an excellent model, one year ago I made one from Fiddlers Green, here you can see FG Grumman Phanther F9F

Congrats nice bird!

Great Job!

I think the addition of William Holden was a nice touch.

Rapidtox- Thanks your FG model looks great.
John - Thanks - and thanks for the repaint. I bought the Blue Angels version to do a Bridges at Toko Ri repaint, then I saw yours and you saved me alot of work.

This is excellent!

I have the same tendency to start models and then get distracted by a new model or stalled by some difficult assembly.

But in this case, you have done a really fine build of one of the great Korean War-era combat aircraft and your additional touches to make it even more like the film version are mighty fine.

Nice clean build Brent. And nice touch with the canopy detail.
