Some aircraft I have finished last week, wanted to try out something modern. These are Tumbling Dice, I still have tons of Pico armor to do…

Nice work. The USN never flew F-4E's though. |

I don't think tumbling dice offers more versions of the F-4. I guess in 1/600 they think it is "close enough" |

Very nice looking stuff, I like the detail on the F-4 tails. IIRC one of the TD F-4 packs isn't labelled correctly online but I don't have my notes on that here. Dom would know if he comes by. |

Nice work. Actually, TD do offer other Phantom variants. |

TD do three Phantom types ISA 839 F-4B ISA 839a F-4E ISA 839b F-4K However if your happy with using one model to represent all of the variants go for it at 1/600th most people wont notice. I have just finished painting 18 USAAF Phantoms for Vietnam myself. Fatman |

thank you. For the minor differences at this scale between the USN and USAF version, I do not mind all that much. They are for sale actually, because I do not have much use for them as I have a significant amount of Pico Armor aircrafts to paint for Vietnam. If anyone interested. As for going rate, I do not know, but they take time and I might end up giving them to a friend of mine who is an actual pilot. |

What colors did you use for SEA paint scheme? |

They look Great, 'hats off to you' on the detail.
A few friends play "CY-6" from time to time, and have a 'good number' of 1/285-6mm & a number of Pico's 1/600 – 3mm.
While they both look nice, well detailed and 'clean' miniatures, personally I prefer the 285th – 6mm. Perhaps its the age (50+ now). Simply easier to see the detail w/the larger scale. From time to time when at a Hobby Lobby I will come across a 1/144 Phantom and wonder what it would be like to game w/ that scale.
Ignoring the fact I have yet to see a single Mig in 144 scale for a moment, you'd have to re-figure the combat ranges for that scale. Just a bit of Food for thought there. |
