marvin20 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Here are a few in-progress photos of my RF-4E Phantom. I added Verlinden resin seats, still need to build the ejection handles our of brass rod, as they didn't come with the seats in resin. Also used the Eduard cockpit zoom set, this really adds something to the cockpit, versus the use of the kit decals. Forward fuselage glued together and seams filled and sanded Aft fuselage glued together, and seams sanded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom G Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Looking really good! The Eduard PE set really does make the cockpit much better plus the Verlinden seats too. What markings are you going to paint it in? Looking forward to seeing more of your progress! Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. Idacavage Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Great looking Phantom, Marvin! :thumbsup:/> The Hasegawa Phantom is one of the most challenging kits I have built and you are doing this one justice. Have fun modeling! Mike :cheers:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marvin20 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 I've mad some progress on this build. Here are a few photos: I attempted to add the worn/faded paint look to the model by lightening the base colors using grey instead of white: Here it is with the gear, gear doors, and stabilizers installed, and gloss coated using Future in preparation for adding the decals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 You did a nice job on that camo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom G Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Wow, nice work on the fading of the paint. It looks quite realistic. You are in the home stretch now. I'm looking forward to seeing it with decals on. Keep up the good work. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom G Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Jaw dropping, beautiful! Congratulations on an outstanding model. Great job on the camo pattern and tonal variation of the paint. Nice weathering underneath too. You've hit this one out of the park! Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thadeus Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I really like Your camouflage. Both the colours and the fading. These along with spookload of stencils make for one awesome Phantom! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
