Feature Article with Calum Gibson
A note from Geoff C…
Every now and again you spot a very striking model and Calum’s F-4EJ certainly fits that bill – I mean, just look at it! I love these JSDF schemes applied to their aircraft and there are a lot more besides this one and it would be great to feature more and so, if you are reading this and have plans for one of your own, do drop me a line and let’s talk!
Here’s a sneak peek at Calum’s finished model…
Over to you C…
This is my second Hasegawa Phantom depicted as a jet (37-8322) of 302 Hikotai based at Naha Okinawa in December 2008. It was specially painted to commemorate the transfer of the unit to Nyutabaru after 24 years on the island. The aircraft was scrapped 3 months later in March 2009.
Might chuck some aftermarket at this, but then again much of this may go back in the box.

The commemorative schemes on the Japanese Phantoms have always stood out because of the stunning colours and choices.This is a brilliant example and your ability to bring out the best of the kit and decals is tribute to your skills Calum. In a word superb.
