Justin M 422 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Here is my completed 1/72 F-4J Phantom. It is the Revell kit which re-srcribed and riveted. It was a fun kit to build, the details of which can be seen at the link below. 61 Link to post Share on other sites
djos 2,276 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 FANTASTIC result re-scribing job is one from masterclass series . Beautiful model Regards Djordje Link to post Share on other sites
Alan P 7,257 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Fantastic modelling Justin Looking at the panels and riveting it's almost unbelievable that could be the old Monogram kit. Looks more like 1/48 or bigger. Inspirational stuff, you made that look superb Link to post Share on other sites
Harry Callahan 2,067 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Great look. Rescribing and riveting was really worth. Well done mate Link to post Share on other sites
SoftScience 4,282 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 That is crazy good! I envy your patience to describe a whole model. Especially one with so many complex compound curves. Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 115 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Wow, you really went to town with the re-scribing and riveting! Impressive! I've got this kit in my stash to do 'at some point' and found your WiP very useful. Link to post Share on other sites

Terry1954 7,550 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Absolutely superb job there! I just checked out the WIP for this which I had missed completely. Your approach to re-scribing is admirable, and has really paid off with this model. Well done indeed. Terry Link to post Share on other sites
Vultures1 1,859 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 That is excellent! Wish I could scribe half ... no, a quarter that well. Great work Link to post Share on other sites
Wulfman 1,497 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Phabulous Phantom ! Superb modelling. Wulfman Link to post Share on other sites
Justin M 422 Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Dear All, Thank you for the encouraging comments. Much appreciated. For those interested, I am going to start posting my 1/48 scale B-29. Again, raised panel lines and another total rescribe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
stevehnz 11,109 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Very nice Justin, one of my favourite USN schemes. I've this kit in stock, in my case, its likely to get the raised detail buffed back a bit & no rescribing. It definitely won't measure up to yours, what you've done to this really makes it stand out. Steve. Link to post Share on other sites
Sky Keg 1,913 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 This rendition of the famed Phantom certainly gets all of the attention that it deserves. Great markings compliment the muscle-bound beast perfectly!!!!!!! Mike Link to post Share on other sites

Steve. Thanks Steve, I can recommend building the kit. Fit is generally very good and good details too. The air intakes need a bit of work and the decals were very good. Enjoy it. I am just about to finish a 1/72 UASF F-4C of Vietnam vintage and will post that when done. Justin 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Glenn, This is the tool I use.....http://umm-usa.com/onlinestore/product_info.php?products_id=474. I use the "hook" end in pulling mode for doing straight lines (using a straight edge as a guide). For complex stuff and curves, I use the other end and push it along freehand. It takes some practice but it becomes quite manageable after a while. Here is a video someone did....... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Drover 1,219 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 There's that word "re-scribing"...shudder! Looks like you've mastered it though, great job. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Justin M 422 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 I should add that my good friend and fellow Britmodeller Alap P introduced me to this scribing tool. I would quite happily say that it is the tool I would least want to lose. I love working with it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ologist 131 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 The quality of the rescribing alone is incredible - especially if the curves have been done freehand, but the entire module looks fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Joyce 674 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 That looks outstanding, Justin! Really nice job on the scribing and overall finish. Cheers, Mark Link to post Share on other sites
