1/48 Academy F-4C/D Phantom II

Nice. Gonna flat coat it?

The testors flat coat didn't work so well. May try something like krylon.

Testors Dull Coat should work as it's a go-to product for many. Maybe not stirred enough or over-thinned.

Yeah Andy I know it is but I was having issues with this last batch, I think it was and is me. It seems to be working somewhat now. Not a dull as I want it but it is flattening out.

Lovely work so far!

I agree, nice work matie.
Have a question for you Mr Phantom.
My GB44 Phantom has taken a nose dive on me, but I Do want to go to a 48th and have better luck.

What kit? Is this one you have used suitable for an F-4B II Navy version?

Academy F-4B. Great kit. SMS does an F-4J and Hasegawa does a B, N, J, S. In fact Hasegawa does all versions of the Phantom but the best, most cost effective F-4B in 1/48 is Academy.

Furball did at least three sets of decals. Were You on the USS Midway? Furball did B MiG killers one and two and B all stars (00).

The B is the same kit as the C, but it was the first release of their F-4. All appreciate changes are made, thin wing, high pressure tires, etc.. I do mean all! They really did a great job.

I the world of Phantom in 1/48 there are IMHO, Monogram, still a great kit, though dated, F-4C/D, J. Hasegawa does them all, but here you have some work to depict a bird on the ground. Minor but you still need to cut the aileron to droop it. Most Phantoms setting on the ground no power hydraulics, it's down. Academy B and C, SMS J and D. For the best band for the buck on a B or C/D Academy. Eduards cockpit detail is anice add though.
