I was consumed with a few projects that were draining and drawn out, so I've taken on a few favourites to sharpen my painting skills. The F-4 has been one of my favourites, building a number of the old Monogram and Hasegawa quarter scale kits. This time I will focus on 1/72 with a few modifications trying not to get caught up in superdetailing. That I will leave to many others who can do it so well.
My subject is a kit of a F-4EJ that was sent to me as a gift a number of years ago and sat. The problem is to do a F-4F I need add the slatted wings. An error on my part, I ordered an old version Hasegawa. So the kitbash begins. Turns out not so dramatic, but I will concentrate on giving it a paint of top form.
My modelling subject of choice due to the nice feathered edges which will lend itself to airbrushing. Thank you for Friedrich Becker for use of his photo
Main kit used for build and donor kit (cheap)
Decals by Hahen, very nicely printed and easy to arrange serial numbers for build.
Photoshopped colour chart from RAL color website.
Truedetails seats, fit perfectly and crisp details.
Donor outer wings already cut from old wing. Scribing still required.
I will hope there is something for you to find of interest.
