tobiK Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Yes guys, Hajo L. Got it absolutely right! Eastern german aircraft only when still in service after 1990. Just look if there is the iron cross on.p Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 East germanairforce has topics enough for an own GB, btw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Sounds good. Thanks for the clarification. If only I could source a hasegawa F-4F!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It took me quite a bit of effort to source a different Hasegawa phantom. But you can get what you need fairly easily by using a slatted wing F-4E (easier to find) and unslotted stabs from Royale Resin, or Hypersonic Models. (or from an F-4C/D - but they have raised panel lines) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Rescribing and riveting the stabs is no whitchcraft. Or you look for the latest/last 1/48 revell F-4F...it is Hasegawa inside! (...NOT Intel). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I looked on ebay and saw nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 I saw two F-4Fs on ebay this morning, for around $30 one was even Buy it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Tobi, what are you going to build? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Well, first i thought i will tell you when i ll be back next week so i can add also pics. At the moment i just follow the GB with my cellphone. But you ask me and ofc i tell you now: I will make a 1/48 hasegawa F-104G with some parts of the DACO set. Will be one of the two colorful zippers of the "vikings" marineflieger demo team in clean configuration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Good news! (for me, mostly). I scored a Hasegawa F-4F on Ebay. I'll probably need to scrounge for decals (its a special livery markings - which I don't love), but it should be here later this week. Woo!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Congrats, RKic! Just a hint for you Phantom lovers here: Do not forget the RF-4E, in Norm72 as well as later in Norm 83 camo. They got a second task as mud movers, so you can hang some fire crackers under the innerwing pylons. Like Matra 25 or Bl 755 clusters or iron bombs. Also not forget the F-4F in Norm 72 in service with the fighter-bomber units. Before they changed to Tornado. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Thanks for the tip, Tobi. I'm afraid I do not know much about phantoms in Luftwaffe service. Once I start my build, I may have to mine you for more info :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 You are welcome! That is the spirit of GBs: to help each other so that we finish with authentic and stunning models. Ofc you can relay on me when it will be the time. And if i do not know it there are friends around to ask. Later i will post a summary about Luftwaffe colors and paint schemes. Would be smart to open a new topic for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scott_t Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Here's a link for Luftwaffe Tornado colors Tobi: http://www.tornadosig.com/luftwaffe-camouflage-schemes.html also, see the link to the PDF file on the page .....it lists colors for other detail areas A link for Marineflieger Tornado colors: http://www.tornadosig.com/marineflieger-camouflage-schemes.html Hope this is helpful -Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Anybody know if the Airdoc F-4F part II decal in 1/48 is available anywhere? Their site only has it in 1/32. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tobiK Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 What is part 2? Airdoc only made decals for norm 90 and norm 72 (one sheet markings, other one stencils). About norm72 i already sent email to them but they answered that N72 for F-4F is sold out. For the RF there could be still some sheets available. HaHen only has sheets for Norm81 A/B and norm90. Norm90 Phantoms with tan radom have the ICE upgrade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
