F-4 J PHANTOM 1/48 hasegawa (VF-191)

Ish47guy.   thanks for advice and feedback !!

Without question, that is a fine build indeed. I saved all of the photos. Was that the Eagle Strike sheet?  The only reasonable errors that I noticed is that its missing the intake ECM fairings, the engine nozzles don't quite look like that when they are closed down, The MLG wheels are the Air force F-4 type, not the USN/USMC type, and the red aerial refuel floodlight needs to be painted red. Just take a look at your VF-74 build to see what i mean about the light and nozzles.

The reason I say reasonable is that I know it would take a lot of work to re-contour the upper wing surface, MLG doors and speed brakes to reflect the shape differences between the thin wing B/N and thick wing J/S.

Again, incredible build.

Dang, that's a gorgeous Phantom!  There's one of the pictures with a white background, that I thought you had taken a picture of the real bird sitting in a museum hanger!  Great job, Raymond

That's a real beauty on a classic kit.

Perfection all around, thanks for posting.

Nice Job! Looks like you spent a lot of time on this thing!

A beautiful job on both the assembly and the paint & weathering.  Excellent work.

With all due respect, the only thing I would offer as constructive criticism is that you carefully check your references on all the detail differences between -B's and -J's.  

Again, well done.

Incredible job there.

I don't know if any of you have seen the naval air combat exhibit at the Smithsonian Air and Space museum, downtown DC, but they have model F-4s, F-14s, etc on display there that actually look terrible  compared to the work I see such as this.  It got me wondering if they would either take donations for display or purchase completed models to use in exhibits.  Anyway, this F-4 would be perfect in that exhibit.

Like Phantoms much?  Another knock-out for sure, a great example of the modeler's art!

Beautiful Phantom. What is your procedure for rescribing? The results look great from what I can see.

Yeah, I agree.  Is there anyway you can increase the size of the pictures?  I'd love to get a closer look!  From what I can tell, you did a great job.  Raymond

Very nice! Thanks for sharing

Looks great from what I can see, the pictures open VERY small.
