Els Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 This is the Hasegawa 1:48 F-4F that I built OOB except for the decals. I used the Eagle Strike decals to model it as the 35th Anniversary jet of JG 72. The decals went on great, but if I were to ever build another I would probably cut the horses up into smaller pieces to make it a little easier. I am not sure if I got the blue right. In every picture of the jet that I have seen, the blue is a little different shade. I finally went with the small testors glass bottle simply labeled blue. It looked good to me. I hadn't used Testors paints since I used to brush paint them straight from the bottle as a kid. They definitely work better with some thiner and an airbrush. I was pleasantly suprised. Thanks for looking Els Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Excellent , have to do that one again someday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 All, Thanks for all the positive feedback. It is definitely the most colorful F-4 on my shelf. Holmes, This is a close up of the base. I hope the info is correct, I basically just took the info from the decal instruction sheet. I used Microsoft Power Point to put some verbage and a couple of pictures to cover up the wooden plaque. Power Point works pretty good for small graphics jobs like this and it is very easy/quick.
