Right colour call outs,
Revell says
M= dark green 90% olive green 10%
L= olive green 80% greyish green 20%
K= beige 80% brown 20%
Anybody know a single colour call out for them.

For what paint Ian? The colour call-outs on my Eduard instructions are:

FS 34079 dark green
FS 34102 medium green
FS 30219 beige

HTH

Well, you've been busy since I last checked in. Great progress and looking really nice, quite ominous in black.

black basing technique

Nice idea. I have a Vixen to do sometime in the future and might try this out.

Ready for the main camouflage colours, just ordered these from John in the shop.

Got them today, great service John, and should do the camouflage great.

Interesting choice Ian. I was going to pick that set, but instead opted for the Mr Hobby Aqueous that Eduard recommend.

It'll be good to see how both types of paint look on the model.

Got the top camo on now.

Very nice Ian, great tight demarcation between the camo colours - top class airbrushing.

Black basing - worked a treat Ian, great job on the paint work

Hi Ian think I'm building the same kit near enough as you, but I'm only in the early stages ( cockpit tub etc )
I've been doing a lot of dry fitting and I don't see too many issues yet ( maybe need to put me specs on )
I notice you have the rear tail tubes ( I have noticed on the kit that they are flimsy so I may need to invest in some ( where to get?? )
I also note the afterburners are pretty basic but I want to build OOB.
I ordered my extra paints from Vallejo so I got the Federal standard right I hope
This phantom you are producing looks very kick ass and the colours are exceptional and the black basting seems to work wonders with the panel lines ( although I'm not rescribing ( or best I can get away with it. )
I'm all caught up with this build so far and will be watching to the end ( Tips tips and more tips ) hee hee

Great looking project so far.

Kind regards

Robert

I've had a mammoth decaling session on this one 2 days at it and I still need to get the underside and tail to do.

[colin m]

She looks great. Tri-camo looks particularly nice.

[Robert1968]

Now this is looking so good Ian and I'm so envious!! ( let's hope when I get to paint stage I can achieve something that looks as good as yours )
Really like the decalling too
Your phantom defo looks a winner to me

Regards

Got all the decals on now. Going to start putting some oil and fuel stains on before the undercarrage goes in/on.

[flyjoe180]

That looks A1 Ian, very nice work

[colin m]

That was a lot of decals. Luckily, my decals were rubbish, so I gave up on mine, and saved some sanity.
