F-4 Phantom II 60th Anny Aeroscale GB

The kit pretty much as I received it. 

Some of the extra goodies. The Eduard FOD & bang seat belts I am just using as examples to fashion my own. 

Not a lot of progress on my own Phantom build but between some hi-res color photocopies of some PE cockpit & placard sets, the lackluster console decals & some scratchbuilding I should have a decent 3-foot cockpit, if I put the canopies down!! 😉 

Had to modify the front office a little bit to fit the AeroClub seat. While it is rare that a Phantom kit needs nose weight, I shouldn’t have to worry about that! Also need to fill in the slots for the kit seats. 

Didn't think it would take me four plus hours but finally got the seats fitted. 

Glad my efforts with the Aeroclub seats were NOT in vain! Looks like I would have had to do the same thing with the Hasegawa bang chairs I found out after getting them (mostly) together!! One of the face curtain loops had broken off one of the seat tops, fortunately it was still in the bag. The Hasegawa seats might need some cleaning up but they certainly will not look bad.
