Show off your F4 Phantoms!!!!

I used the Testors Model Master custom lacquer series out of a can, followed by it’s higloss clear. They’re for car models, but work well on anything. She looks better in pics than in person. Never spray lacquer in Mississippi in July…

Here is my F-4. It too is the revogram kit. I painted the candy cane stripes instead of using the decals. and the angle of the elevator is not right due to a fall it took before I took the pic. I did fix it later on.

That Tumbleweed should end up as a decal set.

It has been for years :wink: Superscale did that on a RF-4B/C sheet

These are great… I especially love the checkerboard tail and the JASDF Phantoms

The Final Countdown??

Ahhh yes the final countdown with martin sheen. Out way before topgun and had plenty of action scenes with the F14 like when they blasted those zeros. I like how everyone tries to credit topgun as making the F14 famous though. First time I saw and fell in love with the tomcat was in the final countdown. Sorry tom cruise, you were just an afterthought.

The Final Countdown had WAY better aviation photography.

Another Heater-Ferris S model - Italeri F-4S In 1/72.

Some more shots:

First try at a 3 color camo, not the best on here but I had a great time building and learned a ton, especially on the moderation of weathering. Not modeled after a single aircraft, just kind of did a lot of little testing on this one.

Thats pretty darn decent Squatch. I give props to anybody brave enough to paint a camo scheme. I myself have neither the patience and probably not the skill either to do it. One day I may attempt it though, though I doubt the finished product will see the light of the forums.

Dave that quad color paint scheme is pretty nice. I like how you mafe sure all the angles and lines were correct acrosss the entire body of the phantom. Must have taken you awhile to do so, but I must say you do have a dead eye for alignment.

thanks Reaper I appreciate it. Camo wasn’t that bad actually, I used a lot of silly puddy to help get the patterns.

That sounds like a decent idea using the silly putty and all. Like I said im sure ill try it one day, who knows though. I got the Monogram 1/48 F4c but the newer 2011 release. Im thinking of buying some decals off ebay and doing a different scheme that the camo/candy cane motif that it shows.

two of my favorite phantoms

Those look pretty good docipaul. How long did it take you to do them up? The camo pattern on the one looks great.

i cant remember how long it took me but that model is about >10 years old. can somebody remind me how to post pictures again (code)?

Very nice F-4’s docipaul !! The weathering on the rivets are very cool, how did you do it? And did you free hand the camo? Thanks for the pics.

thanks for the kind words. paint was mixed with white first then paint the edges with the normal shade, then post shading applied. all done free handed.
