PhantomLover Posted January 26 Posted January 26 This is my 1/48 F-4F by Italeri, in the colours of JBG36 at Rheine Hopsten. It's an old Testors rebox. Not the best in accuracy, but still a fun build. I used Mr. Hobby lacquers and Vallejo acrylics. Decals used were from Caracal (F-4F in Norm 81 camouflage). Kind regards, Gerben 53 4 1
Hook Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Lovely, always good to see a Norm 81 F. What specific paints did you use?, that camouflage looks spot on. Cheers, Andre 1

Cheers, Andre Thank you! I used mr. Color C315 (light gull gray) as main fuselage clour. And then mr. Color C25, C31, C37, C305 for the upper fuselage. Some post shading with different acrylics and oil. 1
Charles68 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Hi. You deserve a medal for finishing an Italeri Phantom, not easy! Great job on getting the I'll fitting intake seams correct and especially the windscreen. Italeri gives you 2 and neither fit so great job! Love the camo paint work. 1

But actually the fit was ok. Maybe you mean Italeri's newer kit? This one is from 1991, Italeri kit no. 830. 1
