DAG058 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) 1/48 RAF F-4J(UK) Phantom This is the 1/48 Hasegawa RAF F-4J(UK) Phantom which I entered into the RAF100 GB. In true RAF fashion it never made it in time. None the less I hope you like the finished model. I managed to pick the kit up for an absolute bargain at the Scot Nats and it was a real joy to build. It went together well and has nice detail. I used Hataka Laquer paints for the first time which I would highly recommend. I bolstered the kit with some AM, including; Resin Seats, Decals, Brass Pitots and Colour PE. Thanks for looking and I welcome any comment or questions you may have!

Col. Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 You may not have finished it within the GB deadline but the extra time you took has clearly not been wasted. What a fantastic finish on the paintwork you've created 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure whether to add them or not, some reference shots of various different airframes had them and others didn't. I was going to add them to my model but the kit part looked slightly off in shape and length, so I decided to leave them out. The airframe I modelled was just picked it at random. Thanks for sharing the image, very sad to see it in that state! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainpeden Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Your Phantom looks so good because it is not over weathered with every panel line over emphasised. The foot it must be away from the camera lens matches how it would look in real life from 48 feet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
