Enzo the Magnificent Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Well, it turns out that my Phantom is very blue indeed. In fact, it's even bluer than the Heller Yak-3. And I have actually seen the Heller Yak-3, so we don't get a situation like this: Here is the proof. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 It is one of these! However, I'm hoping that the finished article will have very little blue on it. It will be built as an Iranian F-4E. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Nothing a healthy coat of primer can't fix. Figured it was a special edition of some sort. Seemed to bright to be a Blue Angel. Should look pretty sweet in that camo when you're done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Another I was hoping to see, better prime those sprues, built that boxing before myself (the f4e in my thread in fact), plastic is awful like trying to paint on a wet surface even with Revell own aqua paints which adhere well without primer usually 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre B Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) If it could be built as an "Blue Angel" but sadly not. Why didn't Revell mould it in "Gold" instead? Cheers / André Edited August 22, 2019 by Andre B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) The blue seems to be quite a good match for this Luftwaffe special.... for those inexperienced it might help to achieve a rather nice scheme quickly.... some gold decals and there you go... ... I prefer your Iranian suggestion though Edited August 26, 2019 by exdraken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Once again, failing miserbaly on the thread update stakes... Let's start off easy peasey, lemon squeezy. Main fuselage amd wing centre section assembled. With a modicum of detail showing the engine faces. Next came the cockpit components. Totally OOB here. Main fuselage and wing centre section assembled. The forward fuselage is assembled as well and shown ready to be connected to the main fuselage. Intakkes added. The intakes are invariably a difficult area on F-4 kits (at least in my experience - maybe it's my bodge-handedness ) but these went on perfectly. Primed with my usual grey auto primer from a rattle can. The uppersurfaces were sprayed with Lifecolor UA249. I agonised long and hard over this one. In some photos this colour can look quite dark and yellow. In others it is faded. I went for the latter option. The model is masked up with my usual technique of Blutak worms, masking tape squares and Copydex, ready for a coat of Lifecolor UA085 Brown 30140. And the process repeated ready for a coat of Xtracrylix XA1110 Green 34079. Once again, I have to offer my apologies. I got carried away with painting and didn't take and photos of the next stage. For the record, the lowersurfaces were sprayed with Lifecolor UA021 Grey 36622. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
