Popular Post Andy Dyck Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hallo, this is my latest Jet built during Lockdown times. The old kit is still worth to build! Added some parts like Aires nozzle and PE parts in the cockpit. Also added complete rivets wich is hard to see. Decals were from Airdoc and colours came from AK Real colours wich appears quite dark, so that I light them up a little bit. Please enjoy the pic’s! Cheers Andy 83 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Magnificent! Truly magnificent! Very nicely weathered. Once again, and maybe this sounds corny, the fuel stains running from the external tank filler caps give an authenticity to the model that really enhances the overall build. It's the little things that often make a model look so very real. Love the cockpit. Would have liked to see the consoles and the instrument panels. I'll be their awesome too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Without doubt, one of the finest F-4 models that I have ever seen. The first two images are incredibly realistic. Amazing workmanship! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loloskymaster Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 That is definitly a great build! I love these F-4F in norm72 camouflage and your's is top. And very good pictures. I have tje AirDoc decals but I never used them yet. Do they fit well? I really need to build one soon. Lolo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latinbear Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 A truly stunning piece of work! The subtle weathering and attention to detail really are first class. I love the way it has been photographed against the backdrop too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 That really is a brilliant model. I like the early Luftwaffe Phantom scheme a lot and you have truly done it justice. Very well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG DESTEC Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Superb, I remember seeing these Phantoms put on a great display at an air show in Leauchers in the 1990's. The crews were very friendly on the flight line after their display too. Cheers Greg 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 No way Andy!!!! There is no way that this is a 48th scale static model of the Phantom. You can come clean with us and admit that you photo shopped the pictures because I am convinced this is a real Phantom. All kidding aside, another great rendition from you Andy. Superb craftsmanship at it`s finest!!!!!!! Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Excellent as ever, Andy! No need to add any more to what the previous commentators have stated - just maybe: They really looked like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volker Hi Volker, quite easy . I took the finest white decal stripes from Microscale (?) layer them on the parts and soften them wit Microsol Softener. After a short time they became soft and you can push and bent them into the right position. Needs a little experience, but works quite well. I bought these stripe sortiment from Aerospezial (Waltermann) here in Germany 🇩🇪 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Beautifully built and finished Phantom Andy. The old markings with the large codes are my favourite era. I really like the level of weathering which you have achieved and of course the photography makes it look all the more convincing. Stellar!!

Lord Riot Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Outstanding! I honestly thought for a moment that first image was the real one you used as a reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLC1966 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Great finish. Proper colours for WGAF jets. Just enough weathering, hard worked jet but not into realms of artstic fantasy as many seem to slp into. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent K Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Quite superb and lifelike! weathering not overdone at all but perfect for the scale. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enough weathering, hard worked jet but not into realms of artstic fantasy as many seem to slp into. Yes I agree with you. Due to all these advertising’s we are suggested to make heavy weathering and we tend to do this. But the reality looks a little bit different sometimes. As I always use to say planes are no tanks. Sure there are exceptions. But I think the most planes used to keep clean. Uncontested colours use to be fade away, but that’s all. No rust or something like that on planes. But I must admit I must hold back sometimes because all these techniques are looking very impressive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
