binbrook87 Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Hi all I've not posted anything for a while as I've been sidetracked with work and a house move so not had much time at the bench, but thought I'd post my first completed model for almost 12 months! It's a rescued project from the shelf of doom, and something a little different for me....the old LS F-4E Phantom in 1/144 scale. Nothing special... just straight OOB apart from making it a later wraparound SEA scheme for the Osan aircraft using some spares box low viz stars and bars. I don't think they're exactly the correct type but its all I could find. I have seen this variation on some F-4s so I'm calling it artistic licence! 😁 Brush painted with Vallejo paints, but if i was building again I would go to the trouble of 'micro masking' and use the airbrush instead! 😁 It's a little bit too clean for my liking...but I'm calling it done so I can crack on with the next project 😁 Hope it's of interest and thanks for looking.

Linus Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Wow, it is very beautiful, I hope to see soon others your projects, compliments! 1
cpoud117 Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Nice little phantom! Osan F-4E's did fly with the wraparound camouflage and low vis roundels at some point See second picture on this tweet https://twitter.com/headdancer7/status/1583289933023715329/photo/2 So you can feel pretty confident with your artistic license 1

Thanks for sharing that photo. The stars n bars are not quite correct on my model though as they have the solid infilled black star. I couldn't seem to find any 'open' ones in the spares box or from other kits. They really need to be like those seen on the F-15E etc.
F-32 Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Very nicely done, the shape of that kit looks pretty good 1
