Zippo the Zipdrive Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 A Phantom in high-viz! Whats not to like? Could you perhaps provide some info on the original for this one? and what decals did you use? The same question to Tengu warrior. \Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Stunning scheme, build and finish! For some obscure reason, though I have had a number of Phantoms of various scales and manufacturers in my stash over the years, I have never completed one. This has inspired me to change that though I doubt I could match this kind of finish! Very well done. Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same question to Tengu warrior. \Dan The decals came from this Hasegawa limited edition - https://www.scalemates.com/kits/963943-hasegawa-07419-f-4ej-phantom-ii-old-fashion The following books were used for reference. http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Rev1/401-500/Rev457-Japan-F-4book/00.shtm https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/all-jasdf-4-phantom-ii-pictorial-book-139651941 Hope that’s of use.

WildeSau75 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Wow - I am really impressed by this build. It looks so right. Easily one of the best Phantoms I have seen. You mentioned that you put a lot of work into improving the surface details - can you elaborate a bit more what exactly you did? Is there a WIP thread? Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Michael Hi Michael If you’re familiar with the kit you’ll know that the surface detail isn’t as refined as it once was due to the age of the moulds. Therefore each panel line was deepened with a pin and vice and a razor saw. The kit also lacks rivet detail, so prominent on the F-4. This was added using the pin and vice. The kit also requires additional panel lines, especially around the nose section. Regards Andrew Edited November 19, 2018 by TEZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be quite some work you put into the surface detailing - it definitely paid out. Isn't there a better detailed 1/48 Phantom obo on the market?

TEZ Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 At the moment Hasegawa is arguably the only viable 1/48 kit in town regarding an F-4E, EJ and G. It’s a sound kit and once you’ve done a couple it really doesn’t take too long to add the extra detail. Zoukei Mura are covering the long nose F-4s so that should cut down on some of the work.
