Hello everybody, Finished as NZ5272 a RNZAF corsair that was made up from 2 damaged aircraft. Decals from Hannants own range Xtradecals. All the best... Gary

Hi Everyone. I am building the Hasegawa 1/48 RF-4B. (all black retirement scheme) Would anyone have any profiles or pictures of a top view? The only pictures I could find on the net were side views. I am just wondering what colour was the walkway areas (over the intakes and wing) and was there much stencilling on the airframe? Thanks in advance Gary :thumbsup:/>

Hello again, This is Eduards Boxing of the Heller 1/48 Mirage 2000N. Finished with Humbrol paint, the topside camo is free hand airbrushed. Oh the drop tank, in case you are wondering, I found a pic of a desert mirage on the internet with what looked like a repair section or repainted section of the drop tank and decided to copy it….. The markings are for Red Flag exercise 2004. All the best Gary

B) Nice one Dan! You never lost it! Good to see you back sticking bits of plastic together! No better hobby! All the best Gary

Wow, Your build pace is astonishing! What a collection of F-4s! Well done!

Oh Yeha! Thanks again...

Hello everybody, I recently finished my pair of F-4S (ssssss) First Up F-4s in Reversed Ferris Camo. Next is the standard TPS And finally both together.. Thanks for looking, Now better get another Phantom started .... Gary

Hello again, Im calling these two Phinished… There are a few bits I think I could have done a bit better but on the whole Im happy with them. So what I have is 2x F-4S. 1 built out of the box with no additional details. The second using an Aires cockpit, D Mould intakes and Afterburner decals. Paints used were Humbrol and XtraColor. Airbrush used was a cheap “Fastmover tools†suction airbrush with a medium nozzle fitted. I used Hobby tec washes and Xtracolor matt varnish for the finish. Here are a few pics… I will add some more pics to the finished section later

I just realised I won a prize as well... :woo:/> :woot.gif:/> More shopping, Thanks very much! :D/> :D/>

Hi All, Thanks for the encouragement, The painting on the ferris scheme wasn't too bad. I used good ole Mk1 eyeball to line up the tape, compared to the drawings on the decal sheet. I kept the edge of the tape slightly above the surface in order to get a straight but soft edge. Its getting close to the finish ok but still a good bit to do, and as if that is not enough I have misplaced the inner weapons pylons! :doh:/> I have plenty of spares so I will just dig into them... At last, Despite the fantastic weather we are getting here I managed to get a bit more done on my F-4s. Decals

Phinally…. a bit of progress, Keep this short n sweet.. Decals, …. I got em on! Leaving them settle down before I recoat with future. All the best Gary

Hello, Another small update, Did a little bit more on both of the S’s today, A little bit of tidying and weathering on the tailplanes, Also started to work on the rear… How the Ferris bird looks at the mo, I spent the rest of my time masking weapons and working on the pylons. I have some more tidy up to do and then its gloss coat for both the Phantoms, looking forward to getting some decals on these two.. Gary

Hello again, Another small update, Working on the tail section this time, I started with a lot of masking, I made a mistake with a previous phantom by not masking enough and ended up with silver flecks on the tail, not this time!! I saw a few pics on line and also in a few of my books that show a very distinct pattern on the tail planes so I decided to try replicate this, a bit of masking again!... Masking off, a bit of clean up left to do but it is going nicely.. First bit of colour on the rear... I could only spare about 20-30 min before work today so that was all I co

Cheers Guys!, Thanks for the replies, All I can say is take your time and plenty of breaks when doing that camo scheme! The Tamiya kit is a joy to build, Thanks again Gary

Hi Ron, If defiantly made it to a class "F" mishap!!. I solved that problem by wrapping a small bit of ptfe tape around the neck of the colour cup. Thankfully my original airbrush has also come back from Badger ...like new again!, Great service.. Anyway, I managed to get a bit of time to get some work done on my pair of Phantoms, I sprayed the basic colour schemes for both. I used Humbrol and Xtracolour paints. There are a few touch ups to do but the pictures show how they are progressing. Strange the colours seem very washed out on the TPS Phantom, must have been the flash on
