Recommended Posts

Going for a build of a VF-301 F-4S

 

Heater Ferris scheme .....intermediate blue .....blue grey .....2 other greys

Mig kill markings .....and a false canopy underneath ......and best of all ....a Phantom !

 

Tamiya F-4J kit

Zotz Decals

Aires F-4J/S cockpit

Eduard Brassin Wheels

Rhino Models intakes

AMS Resin Variable Ramps

Exhausts from Ed Lorti 

I have an F-4S conversion set coming from GT Resin

 

I did make an early start on the fuselage .....remove the kit intake areas to fit the Rhino intakes.... also cut out the RAT (Ram Air Turbine) doors.

You can see from the pics my effort at replicating some of the RAT structure ....still a WIP.

 

Anyways ...on to the pics .....

A small amount of progress ...... the wife has kept me hopping around helping her set up Xmas .....think that is finally done.

 

Been working on the Aires cockpit set ....separating casting blocks from the parts ....

I have 2 of these F-4J/F-4S sets and both of them are missing a chunk of resin from the rear cockpit back wall behind the seat.

I guess those guys at Aires are consistent  :hmmm:

I little patch with a piece of plastic and putty .....should not be noticeable with paint

Pieces fit well together ....

Been working on the etched brass for the instrument panels ....punching out tiny disks with my punch & die set adding some knobs ......otherwise the instrument panels look too flat ....I took a pic and realized I have a couple of the new knobs laying sideways ...oops ! My eyes are NOT what they used to be. Will fix them over the next couple of days .....I used the smallest punch I have and the knobs look a little oversized ..... I can live with it.

That's all for now
