Resin cockpit and exhaust and mr color paints. It's said the squadron was the only USAF unit authorized to use the Royal crest of another country.

Lord Riot Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Now that is a stunner! I love USAFE stuff, especially 70s-90s, that's a perfect example. Need to make a start on some of mine soon I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Hi Will, thanks for the comments. When you buy the Eduard canopy masking set, it enables you to do sealing as well. Took me a while to decipher the instructions in order to achieve this.🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Quack Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Very impressive build and superb finish. I really like the restrained weathering and panel line shading - if overdone it detracts from the authentic look and can easily end up looking toy-like. This looks great and is some something I aspire to (if my skills improve) Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Hello Rob, Thanks for sharing your F-4 with us. Finished to perfection. Great photography and what I like also is the presentation of the real aircraft. Regards, Orion - The Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photography done with 2 desk lamps, an Iphone6 and black vinyl backdrop :-) There is another post with a "Dutch" connection, a 320 sq B-25, posted some 2 weeks ago. I do have a 1/24 spitfire mark IX conversion in the inventory in 322 sq markings, but have to wait till I have a bigger photo backdrop. Thanks!
