krustydave Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Well this is my first completed model on BM for quite a while, I finished this one last weekend and have just got round to posting here, it was build for a phantom GB on another forum I found the build pretty challenging as its the first time Ive used resin exhausts, seats and wheels!..., combined with colour and non colour interior and exterior PE. Its also the first 'modern' fast jet Ive ever done. Im sure the keen among you will find a few inaccuracies and I know I can see lots of mistakes but its all about learning from them...right!!?? Anyway, Hope you like my work! Kit manufacture: Hasegawa Scale: 1/48 Type: F-4S Low Viz Extras used: Parts from Eduard full interior and exterior set, Eduard brassin wheels and bang seats. Aires F-4S exhaust set Paints and colours used: Vallejo model air and tamyia acrylics for main colours, humbrol enamels for details. TA TA FOR NOW!

Gundylunch Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Looks very nice indeed, but I think there's something wrong about the intake antennae, you might have them reversed, ie what is on the left should be on the right and they don't slope but go on straight (sorry ) !

Inshala Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Very nice indeed, the F-4 is my favourite jet. I think the main gear doors need swapping around as they are back to front. Easy mistake to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybookcase Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 That cockpit looks like the DB's. And the rest of it isn't bad either. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krustydave Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Very nice F-4 you got there.How is the kit itself, did you encounter eny major problems? The F-4J/S is on my stash too and I am considering starting it up soon. No major issues really, youve just got to pay attention to the instructions and your refs which I didnt therefore there are a few mistakes, theres the intake issue which theres probably many more qualified people than I to talk to you about, but other than those things, I had no problems at all really. Resin burners make and wheels make a big difference though. I would definately recommend them for an easy way to make the model look alot better Glad u like it tho Edited March 13, 2011 by krustydave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy da fish Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Very good indeed. Nice restained weathering. Just wish I could as good a finishing job as yourself. SF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
