Plumbum Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 This is another one that needs to get some attention. It's been setting for a few months in Limbo. I am using Monogram;s excellent F-4C/D kit and doing an F-4C early on in Vietnam still in gray over white paint scheme. I am going with the gun pod on the center line rack, 2 Mk 117s on the inner pylons, drop tanks on the outer pylons and 4 Aim 7 Sparrows in the fuselage wells.---John 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT Red Sox Fan Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Awesome work John, great job on the cockpit... you really made the cockpit sing with the definition between the grey and the instrument panels... do you have any profile shots--looks like you did a great job converting the D to a C on the nose...

Plumbum Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Thanks, I'll get a shot of what I did to "fix" the chin pod a bit later tonight. Here's a downside up picture.---John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbum Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Here's a couple "nose job" shots of my plastic surgery on the chin pod. I basically just sanded the lump for the -4 off and blended it smooth.---John 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plumbum Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Thanks, just unmasked the gray. Now to do the NMF around the exhaust area then the radome black.---John 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbum Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 The metallic area around the exhausts is done along with the nose, anti glare panel and bare metal around the intakes.---John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldwin8 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I always liked the early war scheme. Looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbum Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 thanks, I added the gun pod, exhaust nozzles and stabs. That's enough as I want to gloss coat it now and decal it. Then I can dull coat, add the wheels and weapons and it's done.---John 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 That is looking a bit immaculate. I'm enjoying this. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
