oppenheimerj Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Well, i decided to put aside the props and adventure myself with jets, so i choose the 1/48 hasegawa F-4E Phantom built OOB except for the cockpit photoecth as always in my models and for the data decals, i hope you guys will enjoy it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Wonderful, much better paint job then I have EVER done. Only one thing you need to watch for. THe red turbine stripe is too far back. It should be closer to the beginning of the flaps rather then the tail end. But even with that minor issue you have a GREAT build there!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ro-Gar Hobbies Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Awesome work! The photo's are excellent as well! Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) Hey Phantom you are right, i guided my self by looking at the decals drawings, and never thought using a real plane picture, well a think is too late to fix it, so i will leave with it :lol: thanks for the critic, every day we learn something new, Edited July 26, 2011 by jorge Oppenheimer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

toniosky Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Very nice painting and the pics are very nice too. How did you manage to get such nice pictures ? I am just curious cos' I am very bad at taking model pictures... You got a a shiny surface and some cloth behind, but where is your light ? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fly-n-hi Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 That's a great build. I'm curious too about your "photo booth." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jminer Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Beautiful, Jorge! The paint looks great, decals are very nice. It's a beautiful aircraft. I had flashbacks from my RF-4C done up in the same SEA camo and full stencils. Justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimz66 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I FREAKING LOVE THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!! My Uncle Larry was stationed out of SJ when he served in the Vietnam war..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ixgr1 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 -DAM ugly ! Exceptional example, I love it ! I perticualy like the stenciling, VERY well done ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a4s4eva Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Wow........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mynameismatt Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Like everyone else said, your painting is exceptional! SEA camo is not easy, and you did great! I also love how the stenciling breaks up the finish. I'm not much of a phantom guy. How often did they use full stencils? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 bravo! i wish my phantoms (that i'm currently doing) turn at least half-that-great! wow! and thank you also for the amount of good photos! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cr7driver Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 What brand of paints did you use? The camo is spot on. NIce work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 i only use Model Master paints, always faded with white for grays and tan and yellow and white for green, so they look burned by the sun, and a light coat of the color right out of the bottle for the paneling, and always Alclad2 for the metal parts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eri Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 OUTSTANDING! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 What an absolute stunner, great contrast and weathering on the SEA Camouflage, although I would have given it a misting of Tamiya "Smoke" to tone down the White stenciling. The seat and cockpit details are just..... well perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Jorge, it's all been said. I can only echo all the others, and say "THANK YOU!". This is a very fine build of a warhorse that I had the pleasure to serve beside and still think it's one of the finest to ever cut a split the air. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
