mess

Yep, according to photo above it seems I did it right! It's long time ago I built it, I was not sure about the resources regarding flaps. The rest of photos could be found on http://www.kpmprosek.cz/v/panteri/mess/RF-101B M.

Nikolay, check your references, there's no hinge on front flap edge, it moves backwards during opening, as can be seen i.e. in D&S No.21, page 7 and 63. This is my interpretation on Monogram RF-101B. M.

Do you plan to fix intakes? Some photos above show that front edge should be perpendicular to fuselage for A/C versions, KittyHawk interpretation is ok for B version. M.

Hello, there's an error in Eduard guide, use appropriate parts behind the canopy - A3/A4/B1 instead of A1/A2 and 2xN1. And to Aires cockpit - good choice, I replaced it too, it looks much better than original cockpit even updated with Edu stuff.

I have this one in my stash too, I love shapes of this hot-rod. FM kits are not easy ones, but with some effort are buildable with usable result. I've built their Tiger and I don't regret i did it http://www.kpmprosek.cz/v/panteri/mess/tajgr Keep updating your progress, I'll watch this thread. M.

Found one! Awesome!

I have one photo of starboard side with starfighters and mouth, but without tricolor on vertical stabilizer. Do you have one with both starfs and tricolor?

Gun nozzle cut-off should be just on one side of mouth decal

Revell has some mistakes in it's marking (btw, did you see mouth interpretation with cannon muzzle cutoff on both sides? ). I love this configuration with lion zap. Thanks for your notes!

So this one is OK? M.

Thanks for answer! Just for sure, I meant the one on the fuselage, not on vertical stab.

Hi all, I plan to build F-104G D-8331 from picture below. There's some yellow painting on its tail. Is here anyone with photo of this painting or any good photo on this machine? Many thanks in advance! Martin

Thanks for all comments, appreciated! M.

Thanks for comments! To philtn: yes, it's exacly Tamiya Clear blue thinned with GSI Mr.Color (blue) thinner airbrushed M.

Hi all, I can report it as finished. Some progress can be found at http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234965200-phantom-fg1-aka-f-4k-148/ . More pics are at http://www.kpmprosek.cz/v/panteri/mess/PhantomFG1 . Thanks for viewing. M.

Thanks for comments To painting sequence, I tried to paint colors with worse color covering first, mainly white and red, to avoid steps between masked areas. DSG covers in thin layer. My sequence was: -black GSI primer (1500) -metal areas -white marking (also areas under red/blue parts) -red marking -blue marking -black on radome/tail antenas -DSG -white undersurface including wheel bays (difference in white achieved with oils and washes) There were some steps between masked areas, but all were caused by single color and no lines in white or another color appeared. If I paint insignias after DSG, I had to mask and spray whole insignia in white (to ensure right red/blue shade), masked white circle, spray red circle, mask red and finish the blue one. There's a risk that thin white line can appear around whole insignia, because first step can be built in first white layer. My sequence avoided this problem. I hope I explained my reasons well, if not, tell me and I'll try to be more specific in parts unclear M.

Finished. And one more with brothers. M.

I have some problems with adhesivity, some of stencils moved while touched. I'm not sure whether it was my fault or not. I hope Phantom will be completely finished tommorow. Thanks for comments! M.

Applying drytransfers. M.

Thanks! Working on small stuff. M.

Thanks, guys. Some silver added to flaps as advised by Jeffrey and Duncan, fixed tail white diamond and position lights on wings replaced with Aires clear ones. Martin

Thanks. Some progress. Grey finished, I removed some masks to ensure that nothing unexpected happened to red-white-blue stuff. Some small fixes will have to be done. Next time I'll mask white bottom. M.

Started camo. M.

Some progress - red, white and blue done and masked. Now I have to mask radome, some other black details and ESDG could be applied M.

Thanks! Martin
