IRIAF F-4E Phantom II


Recommended Posts

There! The Persian spook is done...and yes I know it has for some time now, but I couldn´t set up the photo shoot until today.

I got enormous support during this build and I have to than everybody who contributed in getting this kit somewhat decent and across the finishing line :)

And the information I got from Diego was invaluable, thanx dude!

It didn´t reciev any awards att the modelshow it competed in but I´m still very happy with the build, it turned out just about the way I wanted, sure there are plces to improve...then again is there any model that couldn´t be improved?

Models are like art, they are never finished only abandoned!

Anyhew... suppose you want to see some pics of the thing :D

Well here they are and lots of them....gonna be a 4 parter I´m afraid.

(And there might be even more Persian stuff in the future...)

Cheers and thanx for looking!

Excellent build :) the camo scheme and weathering are spot on. shame about the silvering on the walkways but with so much carrier film to lose it's hit or miss. Have you tired pricking the film with a sharp needle and applying Micro Sol to seep under the surface, not sure if it will work with the falt coat having being applied.

Never the less fantastic stuff and an excellent WIP which I've enjoyed following. Looking forward to you future builds

Thanx :D

LOL actually there isn´t any silvering on the walkways....almost no carrier film, I simply drybrushed to make the walkway to look dirty :D

Check out the walkways on this bird and you´ll see why I did what I did.

:thumbsup: Sorry, from the photos it looked they silvered, but now that you've explained it it looks spot on with the dirty effect from all the boots that climed over it.

Well my first thought when I saw the pic was: - hey ,that looks like silvered decals! :P

Your Phantom looks terrific, Janne!

Great details, great finish, great camo, great decaling! The only thing wrong is the scale.

LOL Thanx janman.... my brain might have imploded if I tried putting those stencils in1/72n scale!
