Phoenix ( Eagle) from the ashes Repaint of an old Tamiya kit.

                                    The original Tamiya 1/48th built in 1988 then stripped down

to sit in my modelling scrap yard

to be finally restored

                                                          in a JASDF scheme 2018



Trying o find the correct sized serials.





          A fellow modeller Ian Gaskhill let me have an old Japanese RF4 EJ  decal sheet
                           Paint was from the Mr Color range through an Iwata airbrush











Although the serial number and some of the stenciling are bogus for that particular machine,its not going into any shows and Im happy to have "saved an old friend"
