Peter Marshall Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) 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 Peter Edited October 27, 2012 by Peter Marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiffy Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Nice start. Pit looks good. I'll follow this one, as I love IDF stuff. Especially Phantoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 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. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Finally added the slats Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 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 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 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.

Peter Marshall Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) 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.
