GORGEOUS man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep up the work honestly well respected , and can't wait for new vids , they don't come soon enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FROM the south pacific (NZ)
Taking me longer than you but the last model I made was 40 yrs ago. Same then as now, had a life changing accident playing rugby. So enjoying it exploring skills and how crap I am now. Bought 3 different to practice on and see if I can use an air gun type thingie for the first time. 😱😱😱
Not that I can model to the same standard as you but FYI the trapezoid panels were known as shingle panels made of titanium and the curved ones below were known as jet blast panels. At one tome in the 1980s I worked on F4 J /K uk version with the Spey engines the first job I ever had was stripping and cleaning arrestor hooks! and anything to do with the back end of the aircraft, THE FILTHY END as it was basically burnt paraffin all over it. Especially on the curved jet blast panels and the hook. Hope that’s of some assistance to you, btw the model looks superb
I think an EJ (and early E) might be in the cards, but I wouldn't hold out for a late E, F, G, or the recce versions. Sad, as those are all more interesting to me than the shorties.
From the first video on this project, I've been looking forward to the painting of the fairings around the jet exhaust. Also, gotta feel sorry for an F-4 arresting hook. It's not the lifestyle choice I'd go for 😥
awesome job any chance of where I can get the paint from? I have looked on the website get 10 bottles of paint is going to cost $140 cost me $80 in shipping to the UK. do you know where I can get it cheaper?
Are the custom paints superior to alclad for durability? As you said fine line between black and metallic. I was going to invest in more alclad for a razor crest build but the custom paints look great. Thanks Matt, F-4 looking awesome
