April 13, 20221/48 Academy F-4b Phantom, eduard PE exterior detail set, VF-142 "Ghostriders" USS Constellation, Vietnam, 1967. I was massively scared of using PE, it's too small, it's metal, my eyesight is poor. But, it's strangely addictive, when it goes on good and true, it looks very good. I'm not going to go mad with it, not until i build my 1/350 Graf Spee, but my confidence is growing using it.26
