Spaced Marine Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I will post some pics when I get home tonight from work. I am building the 1/48 F-4C with Super Scale decals for the Lousianna Air National Guard, affectionately known as (and painted across the tail) The Coon-@ss Militia! I will be trying some creative painting on this bird, such as faking in the depth of the intakes with paint, and using paint and masking to add detail to the exhaust pipes. The cockpit will be ootb, with creative painting and use of Mike Grant dials to spiff up the panels. This one will be fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brews Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I had a 1:72 F-4 C/D at one time, and its detail was spectacularly good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spaced Marine Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Been working a little on this one, pics will follow soon. Basic cockpit construction and painting is well under way. This is a fun build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Cool, looking forward to seeing this one, I have the kits with the fret of PE parts in the stash with some Minnesota ANG decals to go on it. I can't understand why people go all crazy over the Hasegawa F-4C when the monogram one is so good. Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Monogram kit is every bit as good, and in many places better than the Hasegawa F-4C. I hope my build will help illustrate this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mlicari Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Chequebook Modelling Syndrome (CMS) :P That's funny! I'm not sure I quite like Hasegawa kits. Every one I've built has fit issues, mostly due to their modular molds. I understand why they do that, BUT, if I'm going to have to putty, fill, and sand, I'd just rather save $20 and buy a Monogram kit. And it'll actually come with bombs and missiles. :) Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
