Spectre711 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Based on the flash and flashless photos my brain is trying to balance the colours out, and I get the impression it looks pretty good in the actual plastic! Read through this thread with interest as I've got the 1/72 Accurate Miniatures F-4C/D now, which I do believe is a reissue of this Monogram kit, so good to know what sort of challenges I'll be facing! It's just a smaller copy of it's 1/48 brother. Other than some lower wing section warping I have seen in some 72nd versions it would be the intakes that would give you the greatest challenge in this kit. Otherwise it is straight forward. I'll have to get a picture when the sun comes out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spectre711 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) Thanks, I was afraid that big old kit decal was going to break up but it held together and conformed pretty good with lots of Micro-Sol with only a few small wrinkles resulting.

Spectre711 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 When i had first seen the decals and placement guide I really didn't think much of this scheme. Fast forward to when I found a few shots of the actual aircraft and I was sold on it.I really have to finish this by the end of the week if I'm going to complete anything for the build. Going on vacation early Saturday morning and will not be back home till the 4th of September. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Looks like I finally completed this one. I still have to build a base but have to experiment with the acrylic rod some more. As I look at the photos I'll probably find where I can improve it. for now this is it i think since I'm going on vacation Friday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
