discussion Bob's Tamiya 1/72 F-4G Phantom II

[Guest]

Hi All,

This is my completed Tamiya 1/72 F-4 G Phantom II. This was built for Rick's Phantom GB

Build Summary
This kit was built OOB with the exception of photo etch seat belts. The colour scheme is from the instructions for a German aircraft. I broke off the small antenna like pieces on the tail wing, and did not really replace them.
The kit has raised panel detail which I highlighted using a copic multiliner marker.
It was painted using Humbrol enamels, Tamiya enamels and Tamiya Laquers.
This kit is probably not accurate. I have not built it to be accurate. Accuracy is not my concern. The build and finish, however I am interested in.

Clean and tidy work.
The colour looks good, like the panel job.
Is an excellent Phantom

Cracking work Bob, and I really do like the colour scheme.

Nice job. I've not seen that scheme before.

Very nicely done Bob, the Luftwaffe schemes are certainly different and yours looks A1.

A very nice build and paint scheme that I haven't seen before. Thank you taking the time to join in the fun with this GB.
