Popular Post mathy Posted April 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hi all, since years I planed to build the old 1/48 Revell/Hasegawa British Phantom kit. Now I did it! Add Eduard PE´s, Master angle of attack, Brassin seats, Reskit wheels and AirDoc decals for a No 92 Sqn aircraft. Nice eyecatcher on XV490 was a grey painted nose instead the black one. 74 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Normally I'd say 'Very nice'. But nice doesn't cut it. It's superb, impeccable, extremely realistic and to top it all I always found the 92 squadron markings one of my favourites. When you zoom in on the photos the details are very obvious. It's remarkable, no more no less. Edited April 5, 2020 by noelh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Absoutely stunning build; one of the best looking Phantoms I've ever seen. It may be difficult to answer this, but how do you achieve the weathered look to the paint and decals? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the wearhering was done with different oilcolors, post-shading with 0.2mm Airbrush and with the pretty good AK pencils (Aluminium and black). For the decals I used Mr Mark Softer so you can fill the fine panel lines with black and white oilcolors. Edited April 5, 2020 by mathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latinbear Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 A truly beautiful job! Really well photographed too. I didn't know that one of the grey/green F4s ever carried a grey nose so I've learned something too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieW Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Amazingly realistic, what a superb model! There were a lot of Phantoms based near me in the 70s, this has made me feel very nostalgic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathy Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 I think the old Hasegawa Phantom is still a pretty good kit. State of the art and the best option for a british FGR2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
