spook_zachos Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hello to everyone this is my latest built, i chose to represent an RF-4E from Hellenic air force from the badge of Luftwaffe back in 1993 and i'm gonna do this aircraft s/n 7500 ex-GAF 35+53 To start my built i chose Hasegawa RF-4E in 1/48 Scale with many add-on's from Aires, Eduard and Cutting Edge... I start from the cockpit, for this area i choose the F-4E cockpit from Aires with many scratch conversions to represent the recon version and i do this because this cockpit is closer than this of the RF-4B/C and some photos to see the progress...

spook_zachos Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 For the Engine intakes i use the seamless suckers from cutting edge, and i like them very much, the only thing that i add is the pitot tubes from eduard Then i made the Ejection Seat from the Aires set and the only thing that i add is the belts of the garter legs mechanism and the face curtain handles, the only think that they want now is a good paint... For the exhaust area i will use aires and eduard set together for better results... Hope you like it...and thanks for your time Cheer's Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ye-Ye man Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 My opinion is to go with pattern A... (Very good job btw!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Pattern B looks slightly easier, but I like pattern A better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Major Walt Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I vote for pattern B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EagleAviation Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Nick go for the A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikosmeta Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 A for sure. I like your work very much Nickola. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
musangpulut Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 A for me! Do it now! :-P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spook_zachos Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi again my friends, and thank you for your kind words, for the pattern i will choose the A because i seen it more challenging, but i have a question...does the ''Brasso'' metal polisher is good for polishing the canopies, because i have a minor problem with the windshield Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 If you're still going with former 35+53, then the A scheme is correct. All RF-4E's in the Luftwaffe with serials ending on even numbers got the A scheme, all of those with the serial ending in an odd number, got the B scheme. Note, it's the original USAF serial that counts, not the Luftwaffe's 4 digit code. In this case, 35+53 had the USAF serial of 69-7500. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spook_zachos Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thanks a lot Pete for your information that you told me if i choose patern A i will go for the ex35+53 or us 69-7500 but if i choose B pater i will for the us 69-7486 or 69-7519, but i have in mind many other serials to built. B) Also i polished the clear parts with "Silvo" and I'm very satisfied with the result :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
