ncarpio Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Using Hasegawa's F4E and adding a scratchbuilt refueling pod, this project was fun to make. The resources in the web showed that it was hard edge painted. So I had to spend hours replicating the pattern. Took this photo after the printing press took a break. The 649 decals at the intake was still fresh and hard to be coated with dull coat. It was applied after the final touch on the intakes. The final result was without silvering as the other 100's of decals on the F4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Gorgeous! The F-4 is one of the few planes that looks as cool on the ground as in the air. Your camo looks terrific! Congrats! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawelP Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Good job ! :-) I've got the same at home to make ... It's still waiting to start on the workshop ... Did You add only refueling pod to standard kit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncarpio Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I am actually inclined to build one at 1/32. I love the colors of this variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
