David Mooney Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hello all, I have been rather busy working of late but I have found time between working with real aircraft to finish my F-4D. Im sure many are aware that the Tamiya kit is a dream to build and goes together very well, I used Mr Colour paint which I believe are the best on the market at the moment, the colours I used were 303 (FS34102), 310 ((FS 30219) and 320 (Dark Green)……….and black for the bottom :-) Sadly the decals were in a poor state and fragmented as soon as they hit the water, so I purchased the Warbirds Decals set (32009) which were superb and set well on the aircraft and into any details very well and recommended. I didn't like the fit of the intakes to the ducting, so I thought it a far better idea to use the Quickboost (QB 32089) set of intake covers. The seats are aftermarket, but I cant tell you who made them as they came free with the kit (from a certain auction site) All the weapon pylons are removable, this is done using small earth magnets in the wings and pylon locations. I hope you like it, it is certainly my best build so far. All comments are welcome, thanks for looking AceofClubs, TAG, D.B.

Lothar Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 It can't be true this is a model. It's simply stunning from build to paint work to attention of detail to weathering and lastly photography - I take a bow - modelling at its best.

Anthony in NZ Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Oh my goodness....I thought I was looking at a real Phantom for a minute there.....there is a sign of great (awesome) modelling and photography skills! Well done! David Mooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircommando130 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 The back ground terrain doesn't look like Thailand but the F-4 certainly came off the ramp at Ubon! Col. Robin Olds and the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing would be proud! Night Owl F-4's were cool looking with the black bottom....great job on a phamous Phighter!
