F-104 nut Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Now that Fundekals has released a decals sheets of the first F-4's flown by USAF . Time to start on my second Tamiya Phantom. So while USAF was waiting for C model to be produced McDonnell made a Few F-4B's and painted them in USAF markings so the air force could start trining the pilots. Plus the F-110A's also did numeruous testing . Missiles , nose and main gear basys pirmered with mrbase white 1000. The intakes was sprayed with mrbase white 1000 once gone sprayed with Tamiya Lacquer LP-2 Gloss White Here is some preogress pics . I am really hooked on using the Tamiya LP Lacquer paints . This build will beasy no wethering since this was a brand new Phantom 80935C5B-3C2E-42DA-B9B5-2E5663CCB4E5 by b007scott, on Flickr E18276A8-6794-41E0-9A1F-76DDE4A077F0 by b007scott, on Flickr 8FD5A7DB-87DA-4FB8-8355-687DBB382F51 by b007scott, on Flickr 963674EC-F0E0-47EE-BCFD-FFA6AD619F88 by b007scott, on Flickr E4BBDC79-3E9B-4D33-9185-ED080BE3E63A by b007scott, on Flickr 1C6A991E-0367-4EF8-BEF9-D3F522378FF8 by b007scott, on Flickr ADAC08A7-FCEF-4A40-9DEE-6303E554ABE6 by b007scott, on Flickr 075FD427-D417-4866-8BFE-7465D4FEB568 by b007scott, on Flickr 1C47261F-1835-45C8-B6FE-84302B219DD0 by b007scott, on Flickr F7B89B1D-CDDF-41BF-9F55-3ECBFFBF4BCC by b007scott, on Flickr 99BCA2FE-BE93-42F0-9770-1F3028FC3E8A by b007scott, on Flickr F1A8DD69-7399-4B3E-AA3A-4B5EDADD3289 by b007scott, on Flickr D8B088AF-0B9C-4552-9E4B-AA6ACC242BF8 by b007scott, on Flickr 092931A1-1344-434F-858F-7D7F9BB0F770 by b007scott, on Flickr 9BACD5A6-1C46-4864-A705-48CF7992CCA1 by b007scott, on Flickr Brian 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f111guru Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hello Brian. Great start on your jet. The panel line accent. Is that something you use to dry brush? Not something I've heard of. Of course now a days there are new things out there that miss. I'll grab a seat and watch. All The Best, Ron VanDerwarker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very early F-110s were loaner F-4Bs from the Navy; the finalized F-110 (F-4C) started to incorporate developments like the curved leading edge inboard pylons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
