[N4521U]

Nice work............ loving the F-4's
I've got some Alclad to use on Merlins Magic.
I've just got to get in there and do it!

Cool. A bit fiddly but I've had a modicum of success cutting and adding parts using a clear plastic bag, especially when removing small P.E. parts

You do the work inside the bag?

 

[SaparotRob]

It compliments the tin foil hat.

You dropped something

 

[Donivanp]

Well I didn't try to work in a plastic bag, but I did get the MER done.

Did some final touch ups and shot a clear coat.

Let the games begin!

Good work so far!

 

[Donivanp]

Had a bout with Montezuma's revenge so been off the bench. Got back on and dealing. I'm not even close to doing a full stenciled aircraft but doing some. I bought a cup warmer to keep my decal water warm. Works pretty good.

Future floor wax for the gloss coat. Missiles ready and the two wing racks of bombs with fuse extenders.

Looks great Don.

 

[rochie]

it sure does

 

[Donivanp]

Panel lining and pitot tube installation, ready for a flat and fiddly bits.

Yeah I know, it will clean up. I've never been one for deep panel lines on my birds. In some cases but not here.

I've found Hobby Decal many years ago and I always check them for Pitot tubes first. Great product and right price.

Had to tap out the hole a size more and deepen it but Liiks the biz!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember spending bl**dy ages applying all the stencils to a RAF Phantom a few years back - sent me loopy !!!

Thanks Terry, I put on no steps and no push and let it go. Combat aircraft normally ended up without most of the other markings.

 

[Donivanp]

Flat coat and weapons.

 

[N4521U]

It's looking awesome!

 

[Crimea_River]

I agree. Definitely one of your better ones Don. Is the underwing star and bar decal missing an outline?

Thank you and yes the insignia at that point is missing the outline.
