Donald Dickson IIWell, the pylons are likely the same or close to it between most planes.

Michael HickeyNice work so far mate, and I wouldn't worry about the pylon, a quick check of the Skyraiders pylons and some look similar to the F-4.

Nathan Dempsey АвторThanks Michael. I have all the pylons off the carrier, now to attach all those sway braces. Started on more weathering the bottom of the aircraft too.

Nathan Dempsey АвторThanks Michael and Stephan! Added a few more shots of more weathering.

Nathan Dempsey АвторThanks Chris!
Donald: My worry was masking it without tearing the decal off.
21 December 2019, 03:53
Donald Dickson III wasnt thinking that. I was figuring you would use a brush. Get some parafilm. That's what I use for making over decals.

Donald Dickson III tried that. I had a post it lift the shark mouth on the A-7. I will stick with parafilm.

Chris GreathouseI recently used post-it notes as a straight line mask. Wow so quick! I masked and shot in just a couple minutes 🙂
Pro-tip -- get genuine real brand Post-its, not generic brands, their sticky isn't as good as the real deal, may cause some issues.

Nathan Dempsey АвторSome good advice mates! I'm going to mix up the color tonight and see how it goes. I may chicken out and just use card stock and firm pressure, or just hand paint it like Donald suggested.

Nathan Dempsey АвторCracks have been overpainted. In the end I just used the old hairy stick. The decal looked way too fragile to overlay with any sort of adhesive.

Slavo HazuchaNice rescue operation! Never would have guessed they were even there 👍

Chris GreathouseNice recovery! By the way, I just used a Post-it for a straight edge again. Came out perfect for less than 15 seconds to mask it.

Nathan Dempsey АвторThanks mates! Some of my old Games Workshop paint came to the rescue.
Now for the pylons and under wing stores. I had a nice surprise today, the Brengun fuel tanks arrived early! I used these because you get 3 in the set and the kit was missing all the originals. I think I'm just going with a simple load of 3X Fuel Tanks, 2X Napalm, and 4X Mk.82 with fuse extensions. I'm leaving one pylon empty on each wing as a spacer between the napalm and mk.82 as I've seen in some pics.

Slavo HazuchaI found Citadel colors quite a good option in the old days. Lost contact to the Games Workshop hobby quite some time ago though... Nice to see that stuff put to good use! 👍
Have a nice Christmas!!

Nathan Dempsey АвторThanks Clifford!
Slavo: The colors I used are some really old ones, but I've recently purchased some new ones too. They have hundreds of colors, plus some very useful washes, tints & paint specifically for dry brushing.
Merry Christmas to all!

Nathan Dempsey АвторWell after a looooong pause, this one is back on. Finished up the resin fuel tanks and built a few iron bombs. Should get some primer on the bombs today if the weather will cooperate.

Michael PhillipsNice to see this one come back to life... Let's take this one to the finish line!
21 August 2020, 13:07
Nathan Dempsey АвторThanks mates for your interest and encouragement!
Well the weather didn't cooperate, but I managed to get primer on the 14 hard-points and the 4 bombs this morning. Later today I hope to get started on painting everything.
21 August 2020, 16:32
Nathan Dempsey АвторWell I did get the white paint on all the hard-points and fuel tanks with only seconds to spare before the rain hit.
21 August 2020, 22:51
Nathan Dempsey АвторFuel tanks are complete. Spent today attaching all the hard-points. Hopefully this evening I can finish painting the bombs.

Daniel KlinkThe progress is fabulous aneyway..
You make this old dog look like a tamigawa

Slavo HazuchaGood to see this rugged fellow spring back to life! And a great re-start on the hanging bits and details - the dirty white is spot on 👍
23 August 2020, 19:52
Nathan Dempsey АвторThanks mates. I'm humbled by your kind comments. Hopefully I'll be able to finish this up tomorrow and be able to present it at my club meeting on Tuesday (as well as post completed images here).
