Yeah i may skip tomorrow I've been decaling planes since friday. Consequence of doing multiple builds I'm guessing ? Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Those nice big Hinomaru really stand out against the camo scheme Dennis, and having a Shark mouth always helps! As has been suggested take it easy with the stencils, tackle them in bite sized chunks and that way it ls less demoralising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Hello everyone... Well i was able to knock out about 1/2 the stencils in a 4 hour session yesterday. Not bad work for my birthday. I know its hard to see but here are some shots of the work so far. Now being as the scheme is for a weapons meet/training exercise. I found a sister aircraft 87-8328 from the same squadron in a similar scheme. This was actually my 3rd option, and i did have a fourth option as well. Please note In the photo the AIM-9 sidewinders which are very likely training rounds. Quite colorful and i opted to use these for my Sidewinders on my build. Questions, comments, or thought ? Dennis PS- In case you were curious this was my fourth option 07-8428 ? Painted with a Mig-21 silhouette on the upper, lower, and sides.

modelling minion Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Coming along very nicely Dennis, you are steadily working your way through the stencils. Those must be the most colourful Sidewinders I've ever seen, they will make a great addition to your build. And many happy returns for the other day, hope you had a great day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Hello everyone... Im very happy to report that i have just finished all of the stencils. About 130 in total, a pain but worth it in the end. I have decided while doing this that i will definitely be doing more Japanese phantoms and aircraft in general. I really love the paint-schemes they come up with for everyday use. I even like the show/anniversary schemes also, as they're quite interesting themselves. Now its time to move on to the final build process. Hopefully i can call this one done in about a week or two. Questions, comments, and or thoughts ?

modelling minion Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Very nice Dennis, very nice indeed. It is a pain applying all the stencil decals but it has definitely been worth it as she looks great. Great to hear that this has sparked your interest in Japanese aircraft, they have carried some fantastic schemes and are very interesting from a modelling point of view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I did a full stencil set on a 1/72 F-4J of the Jolly Rogers. When doing stencils, I always get halfway through and wonder why I abuse myself this way, but then at the finish line I realize because it looks so good!! And speaking of good, your paint scheme and stencils look fantastic! I can definitely understand why you want to do more Japanese F-4s after looking at some of their paint schemes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxbat Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 She looks great, you can be very proud. All that stencilling really paid off, the little ones on the hinomaru especially take it to another level. Andy Impressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Another cracking result Dennis. This really is a fantastic scheme and you have done it justice, I really like the contrast between the camouflage scheme and the brightly coloured Aim-9's and the aircrew's flight suits. Very well done mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 you know if we wanted to have some fun we could aways tell you that one of them is upside down, you'd prob spend hours looking for it!!

Its so tacky it wont come back off models easily. So i only use it when I'm out of Tamiya tape or i need to cover a really large area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
