Pete Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Started another Phantom. A 1/72 one this time, and one of a country that wasn't represented in the GB yet. Spain. The Spanish Air Force had a force of both F-4C's and RF-4C's, with the RF-4C's being retired not all that long ago, and the F-4C's with the arrival of the EF-18's. The F-4C's were used in both the Air to Ground and Air to Air role and were based at Torrejon airbase. Mine will be built using the Hasegawa F-4C/D kit, Cobra Company exhausts and Series Espanolas decals. Since I was getting close to painting the metal areas on my 1/48 F-4G, I decided to start this kit now, so I could paint both kits at the same time. That's why I started with the rear fuselage and wings, instead of the cockpit: Some plastic cut away to make room for the resin exhausts: And some magnesium paint on the stabs: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cpoud117 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I haven't seen that one yet. It's going to be one original phantom! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yup, don't see many Spanish F-4C's built. Here's the one I will do: El clicko. They were never really exciting when it comes to markings, just the standard SEA scheme with a few badges, but it's something different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 With the deadline of this GB rapidly approaching, I need to speed up a little. So here's where I am now. Major parts glued together, cockpit in place, and some green painted on the intakes before it's hidden. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spectre711 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 What brand of magnesium paint did you use on the stabs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Still working on this one, slowly putting paint on it. I'm using Xtracolor for it, nice and shiny: @Spectre, I used ModelMaster Metallizer for the magnesium paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SERNAK Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm using Xtracolor for it, nice and shiny: Hi Pete What was the paint-thinner ratio that you used? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Something around 50/50, I guess. I don't measure it exact, usually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
