Great built!! The phantom looks fantastic.

Mr James
Wow, that looks good. Fantastic work on the panel lines and distressed paintwork. Lots and lots of good weathering work has gone into this. Great build

Beautiful build - gets the image of a well worn, but cared for bird.

Sebastian Meyner
Simply beautiful! Well done, mate 👍

Awesome result! Really like that one ... 👍👍 how was your experience with Zoukei Mura kit?

Jakub Chlodek Szerző
thanks - about ZM kit - not great - not terrible. With some effort it is possible to make quite nice Phantom 😉

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELS
Thanks Jakub! What issues were you fighting? Is it the fit or lack of detail? I was thinking of doing a Zoukei-Mura kit one day and as they are relatively expansive, I'm collecting experiences from others 🧐

Adam Gudynowski
Awesome paintjob. Great work!

Jos Jansen
That's absolutely a stunning Phantom...lots of kudo's mate!

Arif Saeed
Wow awesome work indeed 👏👏

Gary Victory
Love your work on the Phantom Jakub. Your weathering is just spot on you could pass it off as the real thing... so realistic. Job Job Sir.

Jakub Chlodek Szerző
thank you Gents!

In case of ZM kit - in comparison with Tamiyas F-4B - te fit and the details are a bit worse, but still nice. I have few ZM kits left and I will build them 🙂

Incredible paintwork and variations in tone. Is that oil paint work? I'm still messing with that with mixed results.

Jakub Chlodek Szerző
thanks, it is a combination of paint marbling, inks and oils.

Remco van Haren
Phabulous, just phabulous! Very nice work.

Nik Watson
Absolutely superb, the camo and weathering is excellent.
An inspiration to anyone who has a passion for detail and appreciates the beauty of the Phantom.

Many thanks Gents!

A masterpiece.

Whoah!!! 😳

Thanks a lot! Appreciate

Ahhh, very nice build and even nicer weathering Jakub. Finally someone who tries to replicate actual weathering in stead of the more commonly seen "paint by numbers" pre-shading or even worse a combination in combination with pre-shading and post-shading with smoke.
According to my info all F-4F's of this vintage had the bottom stabilzer fishtail reinforcement plate installed, but have not seen any evidence for 38+38 so far. You might consider adding the bottom reinforcement plates.

A Beauty 👍

Zbynek Honzik
Great job! Fantastic weathering! 👏👏👏

Jakub Chlodek Szerző
Thanks for the kind words and tips regarding plates. Appreciate!

The weathering is on Point. One of the best i ever saw.

Looks very realistic 👍

Jakub Chlodek Szerző
Thanks a lot!

Vincent
Very nice work. The paint finish looks amazing?

Jakub Chlodek Szerző
Cheers!

What a beauty, Jakub! 😍😍😍 That is by far the best and most realistic F-4F I've seen here on Scalemates. Next to mine, of course! ✌😉 Just joking, mate!!! 😉✌

How did the Caracal Decals perform? I'm very keen to build the ICE-13 one and I never had Caracal Decals before

Best regards from Germany!!!

gorby
That's as good as painting and weathering go. Stunning work!

Jakub Chlodek Szerző
Thanks guys! In case of decals - well, they are not the best in terms of accuracy unfortunately. In my case they went also wrong with clear carrier film which is noticeable (this can be my fault, maybe some chemical reaction with clear varnish, cause after placing they were ok). As far as I know right now, better choice is to use House of Phantoms norm 81 decals.

Patrick Hagelstein
Jakub, where did you get the horizontal stabilizers from?

Guy Rump
Beautiful build! 👍

Jakub Chlodek Szerző
Patrick - from C version. But you can sand the slats as well.

Patrick Hagelstein
Right! Kitbashing then. ☺️ Thanks! 👍🏼

Jakub Chlodek Szerző
to be honest - the best way to build F version based on ZM kits is: fuselage from E, wings from G, stabilators from C. In my case was the E for the main parts, stabilators from C and Hypersonic conversion for E late.

Patrick Hagelstein
Sounds about right to me! Sounds also like a second mortgage! 😅
