Popular Post Fuad Posted August 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2023 Good evening, dear ladies and gentlemen! Today I present you my next model from famous Tamiya. I made a model a week ago, but I photographed it against the backdrop of a deck from the WWII. Today I beat my laziness and made a new deck in a couple of hours that looks more like the deck of the "Independence" aircraft carrier). 83 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phas3e Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 solid build, very well done, I hope big T release an airforce variant in the next year or so.. Hopefully its not too late but it seems you forgot to streak one of the flaps on the starboard wing, its still got solid drops of enamel or oil on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I think it looks great! I prefer Phantoms with just the centerline fuel tank; it was more aerodynamically efficient than the dual underwing tanks, which was more a Marine Corps and Air Force thing.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles68 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Great job on the Navy colors! I have been putting off a 1/48 Navy F4-B thinking it won't be near as difficult as some of the elaborate camo patterns on some of my recent F4-E's but after seeing yours and watching all the youtube videos on how to weather these I'm thinking I'm wrong and it will be tons harder , there only two primary colors right? I'm thinking how hard could it be lol! Anyway, love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better to do complex camouflage on a light model than this seemingly easy one. But the model itself is very detailed and requires a careful approach to assembly and separate painting of parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the decalling stage on mine and its a great kit but it is a plodding, tedious build. By contrast, the F-14A moved along much more quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Beautiful and crisp. These are stunning kits and that's one of nicest builds I've seen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Absolutely stunning model! Well done! Just for reference for future F-4B builders using your model as inspiration, the F-4B did not have the ECM lumps under the wings, the small bulges on top of the wings and the slotted stabs back in 1965/66 (i.e. early in their carreer). Also, they would have MB Mk. 5 seats fittes back then. Again, your model is stunning. I hope mine turns out just half as good (and with the earlier tail art).

MBM Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Stunning paint job and weathering especially, don't know if its the photography or if you've done something special to the canopy but it looks so glossy and clear. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark There is a double secret here. The cockpit glass itself is transparent, but it had a seam line right along the entire. I had to polish it with the finest sandpaper and paste. And then I covered it with the "life-giving moisture" of modeling - "Future" varnish. Yes, I am an old school modeler))). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
