Clean, careful, beautiful. Very subtle shading and weathering!

Thanks Neuling!

Rando
Amazing build, love the detail. What tape did you use to mask off for the sanding? Looks thick and rubbery.

CaptGPF Szerző
LOL! That tape was a freebie from my Tamiya International magazine subscription! It's not as good as the Yellow Tamiya tape for paint masking, but it's thick enough for sanding and scribing.

Neil
Simply stunning work CaptGPF! 👏👏

Spanjaard
very nice Phantom!

Michael Kohl
Your neat riveting adds considerably to this nice build.

Guy Rump
Lovely build. 👍

CaptGPF Szerző
Thank you for the kind words, Spanjaard, Michael and Guy! I used the Meng F-4 as a reference for where the rivets had to go, as well as the spacing 😀

Thank you for the kind words Thomas / Daniel / Nathan / Jennifer and Shar! I love jets -me specially ones that are armed to the teeth with pew-pews and boom-booms!

John
Beautiful Rhino 👍 Missed this one the first time around, well done!

Dick
Phantoms forever! And you made the best version.. VF-84.
What a beauty, very impressive and realistic weathering!

Rui S
Great work 👍

Olivier Beaumont
nice rendition of an iconic bird - love the paintwork

Nathan Dempsey
Every time this one comes up in the feed I get the urge to crack open a few more Phantoms. Inspiring work CaptGPF.

CaptGPF Szerző
Thanks everyone for the kind words Dick / Rui / Olivier & Nathan! Still have a ways to go with weathering - but I'll get there someday! 😀

Mark Sherwood
I concur with all the above. 👍🥸🤟

"Sparky"
Your understanding and paint work is real good.

CaptGPF Szerző
Thanks Mark, Sparky! Still a long way to go compared to everyone! 😀

Mr James
Agree with Neuling. Very nicely done 👌

Paul Moore
Very nice Phantom!

CaptGPF Szerző
Thank you Mr James, Paul!

Mr James
The paint shading and panel lines are lovely. Great display pics too

CaptGPF Szerző
LOL! I will have to redo that base as it isn't quite accurate compared to a real carrier deck. So many kits, so little time. 😀

Nathan Dempsey
Always good to see this one in the feed. I'm going to peer into my unbuilt one's box now…

Kesa Tiho
This hobby never ceases to amaze me, how did you do such a good job with the lines and such on the body and wings? Very nice details

CaptGPF Szerző
Nathan - ROFL! I know how you feel every time I see someone's build!

Kesa - I if you are referring to the panel lines,I just airbrush them with black / dark gray and then layer of very thin coats of gull gray ( 75%-25% thinner to lacquer paint). Acrylics are nice, but in my experience, it's hard to push the higher thinner to paint ratios. This took me about four to five thin coats till you get a faded panel line. Then on goes the X-22 gloss clear coat - then the flory wash. This gets you the sharp panel lines with the nice faded wear around it. 😀

Kesa Tiho
Interesting, makes me wanna buy an air brush now lol. But thanks for telling me, ill add it that to my modeling notebook when ever i actually get one

CaptGPF Szerző
Keno - rattle cans are nice, but nothing beats the precision of an airbrush - though I have seen modellers pop out some gorgeous works of art purely with spray cans!

Love this, nice work

Thank you, RedFox!
