Creepy Pete Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Hi all, Here's my Finemolds F-4EJ Kai Phantom II. This is the 8Sqn boxing with the blue camouflage scheme. A very easy and enjoyable build, and despite its finesse, it's much easier to build than the Hasegawa ones. Like others have said, the kit decals are a bit thick, but they settle down nicely, and you can't even tell anymore under the flat coat. Painted with Mr.Color for the blues and various Vallejo Metal Colors for the exhaust area. Thanks for looking. Pete 48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Wow is all I can say! The JASDF ocean scheme has to be the most attractive one worn by a Rhino! How many of the FM kits do you have, anyway? No wonder I'm still waiting for mine to come from HLJ! That is one extremely well done model! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Thanks. I currently still have 3 more in the stash, the two retirement schemes, and the RF-4EJ boxing. I have the early F-4E boxing on backorder and the announced future versions all on pre-order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VG 33 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 What a fantastic Phantom ! I want to build one as this scheme is most attractive. Thanks for sharing. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbolt Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Really beautiful work. Is the camo freehand or did you mask it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Another peerless beauty! The slight variations of the lighter blue tone are exquisite. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilan Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Very nicely done! Which shades of mr. Colour did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy54 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I really like it a lot, thank you for sharing your images of it. I have built the Hasegawa RF-4E in the JASDF ocean scheme. Like others have mentioned I also have some of the Fine Molds F-4's on order and one in the stash already. I am looking forward to building multiple Fine Mold Phantoms in the future.

Chrisj2003 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Phabulous; can’t tell the decals are thick. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Thanks! @Tbolt, I used the rolls of white tack method. @Ilan, I used Mr.Color 374 and 375. They are specifically for this scheme. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 That brilliant Pete, I really like it a lot. I've a couple of kits for this scheme, after seeing all those stencils, its not looking good for one of them at least. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
