Popular Post airbus320 Posted October 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2021 Hello everybody, as part of the F-4 Phantom groupbuild currently ongoing I built the Hobbytime (reboxed Hasegawa) F-4E Phantom and converted it to the AUP version currently used by the Hellenic (Greek) Air Force. The basis for the conversion was the Procal decals which came with some resin parts for the cockpit and antennas. I used these along with some scratch built parts and the Eduard Big Ed set which provided details for the airframe, ejection seats, canopies, exhausts and intake blanks. Paints were from Hataka and weathering was accomplished using a mix of oils. Overall the project took about 7 weeks from start to finish. Hope you like the photos!

Pete in a shed Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 That has to be one of the best Phantoms Ive seen. The paint finish is awesome. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Wow indeed! That is an absolute stunner. You have brilliantly captured the weathered look of a HAF Phantom and the finish is fantastic. Very well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maginot Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Very nicely done. Unusual rendition. Striking contrast between grey cammo and GoW highlights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Awesome! I do think that the grey camouflaged Greek F-4s are some of the most eye catching of all Phantoms... and you've done a wonderful job of replicating one here. Stunning work 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 That looks fantastic, these are a big favourite of mine, I also have the Procal decals & am keen to try one in 1/72. Your version has caught the look of them to Tee, nice tails. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
