Wayne,

Not sure if you need them but TwoBobs will be releasing a set of 1:48 scale F-4C/D/E stencil data soon.

Here's what their newsletter from 8/15 said, "The F-4 Data Stencils below are not available for order yet. Look for those in a couple of more weeks once we get the instruction sheets done. Those have turned into quite the chore to complete."

Here's the pics:

Thanks for the heads up Dwight, but I already got plenty of Phantom stencils in the two sets of Decals I've already purchased...In fact there are too many damn stencils...

The Phantom has got to be one of those birds with two weeks' worth of stencils to apply! Pity those 'dry' stencil sheets aren't still available, they saved a lot of time and effort.

I've used the dry stuff before had the two extremes with them one set worked a treat....the other friggin' useless as t!ts on a bull...

Spent today sanding the fuselage spine and filling and rescribing 2 round hatches that I wasn't happy with, along with some sanding around the nose join...

 

[Wayne Little]

no real modelling time today...but managed to add the cannon diffuser under the nose...battery on the camera went flat so pics tomorrow...

[Lucky13]

Splendid!

 

[Airframes]

Neat work mate.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks, when I get some paint on we will see just how neat?

 

[B-17engineer]

Cool stuff Wayne.

Looks like you've got it nice and smooth Wayne

Looks like you've got it nice and smooth Wayne

It sure looks that way from various angles, but I have learned that only a coat of paint tells the real truth!

 

[Wayne Little]

Whacked a bit of paint over some seams to check my work...only one pic worked....damnit....more tomorrow...

the upper fuselage is pretty good...probably 95% satisfied...one or two spots probably need a bit of extra work...

 

[Wurger]

Nicely done My Bro...

 

[B-17engineer]

Awesome!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks fellas...
