F-4E Kurnass --(Finished)--


Recommended Posts

After the He-111 something i've been planning for a while - due to an administrative error, I ended up with 2 Hasegawa F-4E's when I really only wanted one, so I got some Sky Decals to do it as an IDF one. However i've also got some resin seats, and a quickboost refuelling probe for an A-4 Skyhawk to make the refulling probe that's permanently deployed for IDF Phantoms.

And the decals

Work starts as is normal with the cockpit - started painting up the cockpit

Todays work - first the seats and the crew.

Then fitted them into the pit

Then buttoned up the fuselage

Finally started adding the refuelling probe - some plastic tubing, milliput and a quickboost refuelling probe for an A-4 skyhawk. The probe just slots into the tube, so isn't glued at the moment - i'll glue it when everything else is sorted.

Today's toom tickling

The wings - my pet hate with Hasegawa tooms, sanding off the lumps that shouldn't be there for an E....

Protect the area around it with tape

Then sand off the lump, then rescribe the area

Then attach the wings

use some Mr Surfacer along the wing roots

Good work with the refuelling probe.

Are all the Hasegawa Phantoms supplied with with lumps on the wings then?

Looking forward to you getting this to the paint stage :-)

Today's toom tinkering

The front wing / fuselage joint needed some filler, so while that was drying I sorted out the stabs, Alclad Aluminium, and Alclad Steel

Then masked over the NMF section

Then masked off the intakes and wheel wells with blu-tak

Finally sprayed a coat of Alclad grey primer, and micromeshed it back, then run over with a tac cloth to give a nice smooth toom.

Today's work on the Kurnass - started with the Tanks. For some reason only known to Hasegawa the tanks have raised panel lines so a fun time rescribing them to match the rest of the airframe

Then spraying the bare metal on the back of the airframe - lots of different shades of Alclad and quite a lot of patience

Finally masked off the rear section - ready for starting the main painting.
