Tango Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) Thank you guys! Will ya please tell us whut kind of paint and finishing method have ya used? First I airbrush acryl gloss coat (I use Sidolux wax floor, similar to Future - it's free, but must by on acrylic base). Then I apply Tamiya enamel (XF-67) to the lines and rivets (it's not necesary to be too carefull, when the paint is around the lines, it's OK). When dry (after some 10 minutes) I swab the redundant paint with a tissue or ear cleaning stick, wetted by Tamiya enamel thinner X-20.

jetmodeler Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Nice job. Looks so real. In my opinion I always thought the F-4 looked good in camouflage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tango Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Thanks guys! I was wondering how you create such beautifull soft demarcation lines? Freehand airbrush. I use Triplex II with removed diffusor and Gunze C paints. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotaliscia Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 What a beautiful IDF Phantom, Tango!! Right the one I would like to build in the future. An early bird, with short gun nozzle. I really like your delicate weathering and all the job you did in riveting the plane. How did you do the grey sealing around the canopy frame ? My sincere compliments, a job to "right click and save as" Paolo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tango Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 How did you do the grey sealing around the canopy frame ? Ciao Paolo, it's made with Eduard mask: http://www.eduard.cz/products/card_main.ph...680&name=F- First I covered area which should be clear and airbrushed grey colour. Then I covered area which should be in grey colour and airbrushed camouflage colours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

klay Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 wow.. that's a very clean and detail riveting job on the f-4e.. esp on the fuselage and the wing.. well done man.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 This has to be one of the best paint jobs I've seen on any build, anywhere Absolutely beautiful build, can't think of anyway other way to desrcibe it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gambler Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Fully concur with everyone else, simply gorgeous work! Tango, that would be very close to being the best Israeli F-4 model I have seen yet. Top shelf work there! Cheer's, Jeff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Not only did the Israelis show the world how to really fly the Phantom, but they made it look great in a different camo scheme, and my good man you've just shown us just how much...great job!!! :D .
