garcor Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hi All, Thanks for the encouragement, The painting on the ferris scheme wasn't too bad. I used good ole Mk1 eyeball to line up the tape, compared to the drawings on the decal sheet. I kept the edge of the tape slightly above the surface in order to get a straight but soft edge. Its getting close to the finish ok but still a good bit to do, and as if that is not enough I have misplaced the inner weapons pylons! :doh:/> I have plenty of spares so I will just dig into them... At last, Despite the fantastic weather we are getting here I managed to get a bit more done on my F-4s. Decals finished, Matt coat on and dried. Starting to fit the remaining bits The Ferris Bird first, After the Matt coat dried I got a lot of silvering with the decals. It was easily solved, a few cuts in the decal with a new scalpel blade and the future/klear was gently applied with a fine brush to the cuts… silvering gone. I had used micro set and micro sol with the decals (afterburner decals printed by cartograph) and it didn’t work as well as previous occasions ( I had a gloss surface prior to application) I think I will go back to what works.. future… For the tail areas I used a combination of humbrol metallic paints and a few different washes. I also dirtied up the bottom of the second F-4 . I hope to have another update shortly, When all this is dry and set I will be doing some of the detail painting and then the phinal phit…. Thanks for looking Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garcor Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hello again, Im calling these two Phinished… There are a few bits I think I could have done a bit better but on the whole Im happy with them. So what I have is 2x F-4S. 1 built out of the box with no additional details. The second using an Aires cockpit, D Mould intakes and Afterburner decals. Paints used were Humbrol and XtraColor. Airbrush used was a cheap “Fastmover tools†suction airbrush with a medium nozzle fitted. I used Hobby tec washes and Xtracolor matt varnish for the finish. Here are a few pics… I will add some more pics to the finished section later on. Thanks for looking, Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
