Deadpool Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Been a while since I posted. Work has been hectic with much travelling. Here is the progress so far... Cockpit is a mash up of Legend Productions, kit and scratch built items to make up the AUP changes. Ioannis Lekkas' book Phantom Under the Skin Vol1 is a MUST if you want to get the details right for the cockpit. Top publication. Painted up using LifeColor acrylics which are a b!@tch to spray as my tip keeps getting clogged. Much weathering to be done...

Deadpool Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Painted up the titanium bits using Alcalad Lacquers. Tried to simulate the "ribbing" that appears on well used Phantoms. Came out ok but I think I over blended it. Not going to try and fix it as the masking to get this done was brain damage material... Here are some weapons without decals. Going for 4 Sidewinders and 2 AMRAAMs. Full loadout for maximum damage. I had to steal the AMRAAMs from an Academy kit as the Revell ones were total rubbish. Too long and too thick. And now the decals and stencils. I have Icarus for insignias and major stencils. I'm using the Isra Decal F-4E stencils for the slime lights and a few other bits and pieces. Greek AUP's have grey stencilling and Icarus onlt made them in black or white (?)...no grey. The Isra Decal ones are black, so I thought I would use these and blend them in by over-spraying with the underlying colour. This may be an exercise in futility so I have another option up my sleeve which I will reveal if it comes off. I'm also using the Eduard photo etch stencils for the NO STEP etc stencils.Here are the decals... much fun. Here is the tail (decals still drying). I am going for a 339 "Aias" (Ajax) Interceptor Sqn bird. Unfortunately the Icarus decals didn't have the serial number combo I wanted so I had to use a black "5" to make up what I wanted. I'll have to blend that in with some grey...sigh...The tail emblem looks pretty sh!te hot though. Anyways. I'm off o/s again and wont be back till mid Jan. Have a safe and joyous Xmas and a wonderful and prosperous new year.
