Gelerth Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Third color: Radar cone: After some suggestions I agreed that color transitions are to sharp, so I decided to fade them a little bit. It was painted free hand so it's not perfect, but I think it look better: So far that's it. I'll keep you updated. You can find some more pics at: Picasa - F-4D Phantom II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Nice edge-work. The soft edges are a big difference from the hard edges. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Excellent Work! You've got a great looking Phantom so far. One item you might want to change. The Face Curtain handles on your ejection seats; the "loop" handles should be Yellow and Black. The Red portion should only be on the piece that joins them together.

Gelerth Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 A little progress I airbrushed model with Micro Coat Flat. I used this laquer for the first time and I was a little suprised with the effect. It gives nice finish more satin then flat. Previously I used Tamiya and it was deep flat. I finished also undercarriage and this is how it looks now: Some close-ups: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
