Jens Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Instead of making a seperate thread for each of my (many) projects I will post them here. All kits are Hasegawa 1/48th scale. First off is my F-104G from Taiwan: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 From one J79 powered aircraft to another... The F-4. The first one if an F-4E from Iran: I have to touch up the demarcation lines on this one. Also, I have yet to paint the lowered surfaces.

Jens Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 From an F-4E to an A-4E. This will be a very early TopGun adversary A-4E in a scheme almost like the IDF/AF scheme. There were a few variations in this scheme over time, especially after the dorsal hump was removed. I have worked from pictures so I have no decals for this one (yet).

Jens Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Next up is an F-4E that has been on and off the shelf of doom. It's originally an F-4EJ but I have built it as an early F-4E from Vietnam. Speaking of Japanese Phantoms... This is the first of a couple of JASDF RF-4Es I have been working on: Jens 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Last one for now is my A-4K in the SEA scheme. Even the Skyhawk looks great in this scheme. Jens 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shalako Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Hi Jens and welcome back mate. Long time no see!!!! While looking at your Japanese RF-4, I couldn't stop thinking about some of the VF-126 double-seat Scooters and their camouflages!! Can you tell us the paint codes you have used for this "bird"? Now, I may have some objection about the "Israeli" A-4 from NFWS but, with so many paint schemes they had used and so often, you might have some pictures that I don't, and which show the pattern you have tried to replicate. I might upload an old build (half-way) of an TA-4J from VF-126, painted with the "Israeli" paint scheme in order to tell me what you think. Keep up the good work Jens!!!

Jens Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Thanks Sernak. The RF-4E was painted some years ago. I think I used Humbrol 72, 88 and MM FS34097. As for the IDF/AF look-alike adversary I have pictures showing both sides clearly. Only the wing pattern cannot be seen clearly, just the leading edges. A google search for BuNo 150023 might show the pictures I used. The scheme dates back to the 70's. Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
