F-4N VF-161 "Chargers" CAG Bird CVW-5 Midway Hasegawa 1/72


Recommended Posts

Greetings Folks,

 

 My latest built the Hasegawa F-4N, It was a great kit however some parts the details were so mild that a little sanding it is gone, I guess the mould must have been worn out. Painted using Tamiya XF series. Will keep it short, thank you for watching, cheers.

The motley weathered Gull Grey really looks the biz, as does the burnt metal around the aft end.  I like those colourful CAG markings as well.

Thank you, really appreciate the kind words mate, cheers

That's terrific looking!  The weathering is very nice and realistic.  Did you salt weather it?

Thanks Mate, No salt solutions, just post shading with highly diluted colors of what you think might be closed to the ref you are following after that wash with acrylic colors. Cheers

This is an outstanding Navy Phantom! I really like the very realistic weathering you have applied on the wings and the fuselage. The RN Phantom is also cool. Is the latter one the Fujimi kit?

Perfect looking Phantom in my eyes and hard to believe that’s it’s 1/72 looks more like a 1/48. Five star effort with this beauty

Thank you, I generally do 72 scales as 1/48 scale is quite large for my limited real estate but I sure love to do built a 48 scales. Cheers

Thank you, Mate, glad to know you like it. Yes, it is a Fujimi kit built few years ago, Fujimi's kit I have to say it is one of the finest F-4 kits 72 scales out there even if is almost 3 decades old imho.

Like the softer weathering, you don't the major dark lines on all the panel lines. Just need a nice outdoor picture and you could swear it's the real thing.

Appreciate the kind words, @busnproplinerfan and did outdoor shoot like you mentioned here, hope it is ok

Brilliantly done, I too thought it was in a larger scale, not 'gentleman's scale'! Very effective.

Thanks Buddy, I will do a larger one in the future for sure. Cheers
