1/48 Hasegawa F-4E Phantom - RAAF

Posted by Grant Dalzell on Saturday, January 26, 2019 6:35 PM

I know I got a few things wrong with it, but it's good enough for me.

Decals are AM (Hawkeye Models), very disappointed with them, printed on a single carrier film and very translucent, but RAAF decals are not easy to come by (Hear this Cartograf?)

Camo is Gunze acrylic and Lacquer, also used Tamiya acrylics, Vallejo metal colour and AK Xtreme metals. Flory dark dirt wash, Mig satin varnish and some oil paint wash in the gear bays and legs.

Nice. You don't see Aussie Phantoms very much. Well done
