Roberts McDonnell Douglas Phantom 2 F-4C 1/48 Revell ( monogram.

[Guest]

You've come on leaps and bounds my friend, I wish I could build planes to this standard

Starting to look the part.

Well the Tri camo island down
Dark Green FS 34079
Medium Green FS 34102
Tan FS 30219
I converted all the paint ref to model air and went with 60/40 paint ratio and after a few hours and a day I've got it nailed I think ( I'm pretty happy with it )
Once all the Indi White tak was taken off I cut in with all the relevant colours to try and give a soft blend of the tri scheme.
I've been also busy by starting to put down some Titamium on the cans ( still needs a pin wash and some smoke stains ( build up etc )
I'll give it a couple of days to full dry and settle before I mask up to spray the nosecone and then it will be sharpen up the lines from the undersides to fuselage.
I broke the two aerials on the tail so I'll have to source some from somewhere.
Still got loads to do.
Thanks for looking

The camo looks really good Robert. You've nailed it just like Ian! No pressure on me then if I ever get to that stage

Now I'm only mentioning this because I've got the same problem where the lower fuselage fits beneath the cockpit. On your pic, I think you might need to revisit the filling there. It's only because the rest is so good that it stands out, but it'd be a shame for that to detract from the rest of a great build.

Yep I noticed that too ( must go to spec savers) and get my mr mgoo glasses
( do you remember him )

I am old enough to remember Mr Magoo, but I used to hate him!

That's sometimes the bad thing about photos, they often show what we've missed!

Great work on the tri- camo Robert. And Patrick's right about the filler at the front.

Looking great mate.

The camera can be brutally honest sometimes Robert.

Looking good!!

Will get the Phantom into the filling station at the weekend, then I'll touch up with the paints. I've made a good start on my weapons ( pics soon )

I'm also working on my weapons at the moment Robert.

That looks great. I've had a camera pick up things my mk1 eyeball missed. Bloody annoying at the time.

Nice paint work Robert
