Grunticus Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) She is done. No where near perfect or even up to scratch with the usual superb work of others on this forum, but I'm content I have this on the shelf now. WIP can be found here. Quinta cockpit Reskit wheels, AIM-9J and inner LAU-17 pylons (Reskit exhausts were saved for the Academy F-4E because I had last minute fit-issues and didn't want to screw up this late in the build) TISEO resin-copied from the Academy kit Aerocraft brass landing gear Procal stencil decals set Unit markings and serial number made with masks Unit insignia and crew names made with laser printer on decal paper Raised back seat by 3mm Cheers!

alain11 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Hi As I said in the introduction of your thread, I am (was) not so enthusiastic about the Revell/ Academy kit, too many issues, lack of details etc.… but you come here with this kit, and prove that we can get a very convincing interpretation of the F-4 ... congrats comrade, I like a lot...

Alain Thank you guys. Alain, it's not even in the same league as yours which was stunning, but it's the best model I ever made. I learned a lot and it gave me great pleasure to build this one, even with it's shortcomings Jack and alain11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc780 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 To me this F4 looks plenty perfect! When I saw the first image I did a double take, even though I already knew its a scale model, if I didn't know that, I could easily be convinced it's an image of the real thing. Your workmanship is exquisite. Grunticus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
