Spotter Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) Shoot it and I hope to model it. :) Eric The new s/c F-4F Phantom from Neuburg will be difficult to model due to the airbrush artwork applied. But it should be doable, the same was as the Tiger ECR Tornado 46+44 :) And really excellent work on this black Phantom! Andreas Edited June 8, 2008 by Spotter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Topside done and bathe with Future gloss ready for decal. Next stop will be the underside fuselage artwork and undercarriage gears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AnthonyWan Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Damnnnnnn!!! That is great Eric...I'll have to stop by and see this sometime next week ;) Oh...just nit pick that was bothering me. For some reason, not sure if its the light or something, the model doesn't look extremely glossy, it looks more satin-ish from here. Just wanted to be sure that you'd fully glossed, just so you don't get silvered decals (silvered decals + black airplane = bad :wub:). It's probably just the light, but hey, as mod, I'm here to make sure you guys get killer builds outta this GB -AW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Thanks Awan. Yup shes just satin-ish glossed. Just need to protect the paint layer before moving to the underside. I'll be putting more gloss and keep it glass glossy and smooth for the decals after everything else is done. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Whoa! That looks beautiful! Keep it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Sorry for the long delay. Been busy lately with other stuff (not hobby related). Finally got to paint the entire artwork at the undercarriage. Took me alot of headaches (alot of tylenol too) to draw/trace, cut,mask, paint, mask and paint over and over again. Not perfect but im satisfied. Thank God im done with that. Here is her undercarriage: This is it for now. Time for gloss coat and decalling. Till next time.

SCOUT712 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Don't forget the rear mounting of the HPC centerline tank. It has been on the jet and was painted too. Nice work so far. Oh, before I forget it, you need to close the holes for the outboard wing tanks they were never carried by the jet, in fact it never carriede any tank. SCOUT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Wow!! That is gorgeous, especially given the fact that it is all hand-painted! Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
