Phill318 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Here is my F-4 from ZM in the Japanese retirement scheme. The kit absolutely fell together and the decals were a blast. LOTS of stencils as expected on a Phantom but some were grouped together to help speed up the process and they all went down really well.

MBM Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 That has to be one of the most vibrant Phantom special schemes, I've ever seen. Stunning job, really nice combination of a clean special scheme with plenty of depth in the paintwork. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano353 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Just looking at the close ups there and those panel lines are remarkably fine they actually look to scale! Awesome job by the way. I don't need another kit for years looking at my stash and how longI take making them but I really want above all else a ZM kit, a Phantom specifically.

Phill318 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Thanks all! On 07/01/2022 at 08:33, Gidge said: Awesome job mate! I'm building this kit now. Any advice? It's a really nice kit and just falls together. In terms of decals, they go down really well. Trickiest ones are the bits of blue around the canopy and top of the fuselage. The other ones to look out for are the ones on the tanks. I found they needed a lot of fiddling to go down and then started to wrinkle and break up a bit. If you're looking for a colour match for the metallic blue for the front of the tanks, use Mr Colour Metallic Blue (C076). It was pretty much spot on over a black basecoat.

Serkan Luckily quite a few were combined together into one decal so it reduced the number quite a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
