Nice paintwork. Colors look good, I wouldn't worry that's an issue. Can always change the tone with a wash anyway. 👍

TV_scalemodels Författare
Thanks! Yes that is very true. I think after the weathering I don't see the original colours too much..

James C
Nice progress 👍

Michael Kohl
Beautiful

Daniel
A true legend! awesome painting, the chipping is just perfectly made for this particular jet, (not an easy task, theres a thin line between realistic used look and repainting the whole thing...)

Shar Dipree
Extremly nice and awesome details (overpainted insignia for example). Excelent. I'm curious how the phantom will look like in the end.
Is there a photo that you use as a reference?

TV_scalemodels Författare
Thanks for the comments!

Weathering was interesting, it is always difficult to balance realistic and nice looking. I'm glad you like it!

I used pics on the Internet and excellent fundecals instruction
for reference. And my books of course too.

Thanks for the links.
I think the weathering has become great. The aircrafts were partly very weathered during the war.

James C
Stunning looking F-4! 👍

I keep saying to myself that THIS will be the year that I pull my finger out and build one; but it never eventuates. This build has definitely renewed my desire to finally do it. 😉

that is a great Phantom. excellent.

Wall to wall stencils, but your scratch building skills and eye for the painting and weathering are awesome. Wow!

Thanks for your feedback! Here is a build video if you are interested:

Weathering, chipping, dirt, grime and heat staining all done to perfection!

CaptGPF
Phenomenal build! The step by step video is instructional and very well made. Only word I can use is inspirational!

Thanks CaptGPF! I'm glad you liked my video inspirational!

Very great job done here : additional details, painting… Just awesome.

May I ask you why you also weathered the missiles ? On a real jet, if the machine is used and dirty, the munitions are usually brand news, so…

Gary Victory
Really Really nice build and finish. Love the weathering, looks spot on to me..! Top Job.

Neuling
I agree with Gary!

T Ber: Thanks! Missiles are not massively weathered, just some panel line wash, maybe a little bit of pre-shading, that's all. Drop tanks are weathered however as they seemed to be used multiple times, not dropped in every mission according to my references.

Thanks Gary Victory and Neuling!

Excellent work! Congrats👍🏻

Thanks J35J!

I wonder are Phantoms popular in broader spectrum? I understand that they were wide spread across the globe and long in service. In that regard for example Viper (F-16) is even more popular.. Just thinking..

Great job, congrats! 👍

Operation BOLO! I like these. I have a 1:32 Tamiya kit for this one!
