Diego Quijano Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hello friends: To recreate the landing moment, the flaps and slats were cut off to put them in landing position, the air brakes and arresting hook was extended and I also had to enlarge the front landing gear to the completely extended position. The painting has nothing especial except the fluid leaks of the underside. The large amount of lettering is what adds interest to the final look. A few more pics here: Scaleworks Cheers.

David H Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Beautiful Model, Diego!! I have a F-4B almost finished. The Hasegawa Phantom looks great once assembled but its such a fiddly pain-in-the-bottom to finish. Thanks for posting!! -d- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attman007 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Very nice indeed better than most 1/48 models. Is there a base for the model or one on the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Stunning! Just needs a carrier deck and a cable in the hook to finish it off. Shaun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Quijano Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) looks immense no way in a million years would you think that was 72 scale!how do you do the fluid leaks? I think the best way of doing that kind of effect is with oil paint. You paint the leak with a fine brush and when the solvent is dry you can rub with a clean brush to blur the borders. It is a bit tricky at the begining until you get the right density of oil paint, but it is not difficult.

Diego Quijano Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Very nice indeed better than most 1/48 models. Is there a base for the model or one on the way? Thank everybody. About the base, the plane is displayed over a mirror so the paintjob of the undersurface can be observed, but I think it would be a good idea to paint the carrier landing marks over the mirror and add the arresting hook. Maybe I do that. Thanks again people. Q Edited November 1, 2010 by Diego Quijano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 1/72 you say?! That's a might impressive result, the range of panel shades and spot-weathering is very convincing at that scale. Excellent work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
