Keeff Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 That's impressive! It looks like it's had a hard life with lots of wear replicated brilliantly. Keith 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLC1966 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Cracking bit of painting there. Overly weathered for my liking but the artistry is very good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dyck Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Artistically and technically well done, but for my personal taste a bit too much of a good thing. I hope you don't take it badly, but I think criticism is allowed. Many greetings Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1485 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 A couple of posters think this is overdone. I agree that sometimes people do go too far, but if you look at photos some of the C and D models in Vietnam were actually this bad! Maybe poor paint prep/ application in theatre? Great result - well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great result - well done! In a pilot's memoir of the period, I read that the problem with the matt paint was that it couldn't cope with low level supersonic flight through the heavy rains of Vietnam. He described picking up a newly resprayed aircraft from an in-country depot, flying through a storm and finding when he landed that half of the new paint was already gone. Maybe in that instance the paint hadn't had time to fully cure? The Navy Phantoms in shiny paint (designed for its robust anti-corrosion qualities) stayed pretty much longer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
