1/48th Revell F-4C (ADC Grey)

[Ghostbase]

Started nearly two years ago as part of the F-4 Phantom II STGB and completed yesterday as part of my mini KUTA, everything that could go wrong did go wrong with this 1/48th Revell McDonnell-Douglas F-4C Phantom serial 63-7702 operated by the Texas Air National Guard 111 FIS out of Ellington ANGB. The 'everything going wrong' streak lasted to the very end, even the canopies are at the wrong angle! She was painted in Model Master FS16473 'Aircraft Grey' with metallics in Humbrol Metalcotes, Superscale decals plus Experts Choice walkways, then all coated with Klear. Photos taken in sunlight to hide the defects:-

However I am being harsh. This is my 6th completed F-4 in this scale and she is definitely an eye-catcher. Learned a lot from this one and looking forward to more Phabulous Phantoms

Very nice!

I think that looks rather splendid, myself. It's great to see a Toom in ADC paint with the Texans ANG markings.

I had an old Monogram F-101 Voodoo kit that had very similar markings

My all time favourite ADC scheme (looks good on the F-101 aswell !!). I have 1:72 & 1:48 decals and kits for this machine and may use ours as inspiration.

Luvvit !!

Its a fair few years since we mixed the paint for that one old pal.

Thanks for all the kind comments The old 1/48th Revell / Monogram Phantom II kit still scrubs up to make a presentable model. I have decals in the stash for the ADC Grey Minnesota ANG, Michigan ANG and the Oregon ANG, would be good to try one of these. Have also been looking at the quality of the new Academy F-4B kit, hope they release an F-4C/D version in the future. I have the Monogram F-101B in 111 FIS markings which I made years ago, a very impressive kit.
