Peter Marshall Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Finished this morning with the last little bits. Hasegawa F-4E kit with Sky decals, painted with Gunze Aqueous and Alclad. Used a Quickboost Skyhawk refuelling probe and some plastic tubing to make the refuelling probe. Good fun, apart from the stencil hell.

exdraken Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Nice Kurnass! What time frame i it supposed to be depicted in? Interesting air defence loadout of 4 early Sidewinders, 4 Sparrows, late f-15 style center tank and refueling probe! Great decal work, really like the "busy" looks!

Sundowner14 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Nice, nice, nice. Is the refuelling probe extendable on the real thing? I'd hate to try and tank with it if not, as it sits behind the pilot's shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMChladek Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Actually, the Sidewinders look like 9Ps, so they are more mid production as opposed to early ones. Time period would likely be late 1980s as I believe the Phantoms got the probes then (they were around in the early 1990s). The refuelling probe looks about right from what I can see. Yes, it sits a little behind the pilot, but I have a feeling the RIO helps talk him in to tanking and since IAF pilots are the best in the world, I think they've perfected how to tank properly with these birds. Very nice build IMHO. I love seeing IAF F-4s, especially the birds from Hammers Squadron (such as this one is with the black and yellow checkerboards).

Peter Marshall Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 The winders and the sparrows are straight from the box, not sure what model they are supposed to be, but they are what I had . No specific timeframe was specified with the decals, so it got whatever was handy. HTH Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
