All looks fantastic in black and red Craig, I love the piping and have to store that idea for later.

With the exception of the Sherman tank at the bottom left, these are all the kits I won in the raffle drawings at the Pelicon 2025 model show last Saturday. The Panther and Crane kit has a ton of plastic sprues inside. The vendor selling the Sherman was asking a price I could not turn down, so I brought it home via a purchase.

That RFM Sherman is  supposed to be a Superb kit,  and I can not wait to  see you start the Phabulous  Phantom kits  -  as I bet Ken  feels the same.

Nice loot Craig, you need a trailer, when visiting a show :D. The Salvino´s Monte Carlo is in my stash as well and I can tell yo, that the ZM F-4 kits are absolutely fantastic. How do I know? I built one ;).

That's certainly a convincing example of what a finished ZM can be in the hands of a skilled modeler. Beautiful is not enough superlative to describe it. Magnificent!

Thank you Craig, the kit falls together virtually, so you can enjoy the painting and finishing. Stencils can be a pain, but are luckily of very high Cartograph quality. The biggest problem was to match the blue metallic of the external fuel tanks to the decals. I even thought about building a second Kai Phantom with the yellow livery and that´s rare by me, because I hate repetitious work.
If you are interested to dig a bit deeper into the build, there is a link to my WIP over on LSM.

Done - F-4EJ Kai Phantom - The Last of it's Kind ZM 1/48 - LSM 1/48 Work in Progress - Large Scale Modeller

Nice work Craig!  The piping on the seats came out really well.  Hope you played the lottery - you were certainly on a lucky streak that day!

Turkey ended up with a good number of my unit's F-4Es back in 1991. I missed the delivery flights because I was the trial WSO to go to tanker school at Castle AFB, CA. Later on, when we were in Pisa, supporting the shenanigans in Bosnia, the Turkish F-4s sported our nose art of the Tiger heads. The rest of the markings reflected the Turkish AF. I look forward to seeing your build of one of those Z-M Phantoms. 😁
