DaveJL Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Hello all, Here is my recently completed 1/48 Zoukei Mura F-4EJ converted to an F-4E AUP of 338 Mira, 117 Combat Wing, Hellenic Air Force based at Andravida Air Base. This is the last Squadron Flying the F-4 in Greek service. The build thread is below. Extras used included the superb Zeus Productions/Hypersonic Models AUP conversion set, Zeus decals, ProCal stencils, Quickboost ejection seats, Eduard Brassin printed ejection handles, Brassin Litening pod, Advanced Modelling Products camouflage mask, New Ware mask set and Res Kit FOD covers. The GBU-24s are from Hasegawa weapons set D. Paints are all MRP with the heavy weathering coming from a mixture of pre and post shading, Abetilung oils and some Tamiya sets. The Eagle Productions 'Phantom Under the Skin' book was used as reference throughout and is highly recommended! Onto the pictures! With my other European long nose Phantom: Thanks for looking Dave 56 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Excellent Phantom! The finish and weathering are great. I especially like the worn paint on the mis-matched drop tank - well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 Cheers! The idea for the tanks was pinched from a few images in the Eagle Aviation book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 That really is quite superb. I've book marked the WiP for this as a reference for when I attack one in 1/72, less much of the wonderfully detail you've added to this one. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 You have nailed that. The Germans and Greeks really didn't like washing their Phantoms judging by the ones I've seen and you have really captured that perfectly. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
