Popular Post DrumBum Posted July 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2021 Wrapped up the FGR2 yesterday. A good build with some user error. I find the Revell/Hasegawa main landing gear attach points to be a weakness in the kit and if I build another I will figure out a better way of installing the main legs. I removed the flaps and slats to display in the down position however it was not until complete that I realised the F-4 appears to only have a full flap setting and not the half flap setting that I have done. I used Eduard cockpit, intake covers and wheels. Cheers folks. Go Ricciardo!!! 88 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony in NZ Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 That's utterly superb and a massive inspiration for my 32nd one!! What paints did you use, they look spot on, as does your weathering. Lovely and thanks for posting Cheers Anthony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never, ever had a great time attaching the main gear on all of the various versions Hasegawa have put out. Phabulous build! Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya acrylics, the barley grey on the fuselage was a mix based on xf-19 sky grey with a little white and a tiny bit of yellow added. The other two were xf-83 medium sea grey out of the bottle and the belly is xf-20 with a little white added. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 You had me hooked with the very first photo. The colours look perfect and the amount of grime on the fuselage looks just right too. My only negative observation is that the FGR2's didn't have aileron droop when the flaps were deployed but other than that it is a peach of a model.

Duncan B Yes I realized the flap/aileron droop settings are incorrect when it was too late.......next F-4 will be better!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Thats a blinder. Really liking your work there and a whole load of inspiration for whenever I get around to my planned 1435 FGR2. Thanks for posting and in such a well photographed manner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
