DaveJL Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hello all, Here is my recently completed 1/48 Hasegawa F-4F Phantom in the markings of Jagdgeschwader 71 (JG 71) 'Richthofen,' German Air Force during the mid 2000's. The build thread is here. Extras used included Quickboost resin seats Eduard etch, Phase Hangar Resin FOD inserts, Royal Resin unslotted stabilisers, Master Pitot and AoA probes, Aeromaster stencils, New Ware masks, AIM-9 Sidewinders from a Tamiya F-14 and AIM-120s AMRAAMs from an Academy F-15. The actual markings were with the kit when I bought it but I've no idea of the company. Paints are all Mr Paint and I went for the heavily weathered look so often seen on Luftwaffe F-4s toward the end of their service lives. Beside the last F-4 I built (about 2 years ago) - Turkish 2020 'Terminator': Thanks for looking Dave 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Not bad but dude you really need to mix it up with your pictures a bit more. They are nearly all the same just with or without the base. Get some from low level like a scale person has took them. Try different points of focus & lighting source. Or get in close to show the detail of all those extras you added etc... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Great effort on the weathering, looks like the real aircraft did. Agree we could do with more closeups but that's a really good model. Alan Edited August 30, 2019 by Alan P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
