Soesterberg Phantom F-4E 1/48 Hasegawa

[Rob K.]

Here a 1/48 Phantom f-4e in 32nd TFS markings based at Soesterberg (Camp Nieuw Amsterdam), Netherlands . 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.

 

Some info on the 32nd, now inactive, if anyone is interested:

Lovely piece of work

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.

That's a beauty, extremely well done - now the itching in my fingers to tackle 

one myself starts again!!

Agreed - beautiful build. 
 

Could I ask how you did the white canopy sealing?

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.🧐

[Scimitar F1]

Thank you - so painted - very well done!

[RMCS]

Fantastic

Beautiful build and finish.

[Dr. Quack]

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)

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.

Thanks Orion for the nice comments. 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!
