Revellogram's 1/48 F-4J Phantom Completed!

Thanks Eaglecash!

Thanks jeaton!  You got that right, lol.

Back to the bench, Thank you!  The stencils on this F-4 really weren't all that bad.  I think the one that annoyed me most was Revell's F-15E.  I swear they should of just put a giant NO STEP on top of the entire plane.  It had so many no steps on it, lol. 

That really came to together well and looks great! Thanks for persevering and posting. I have yet to build an F4 and to be honest the thought of all those stencil decals makes my eyes cross.

Nicely done Keyda.  Great modelers are not made by getting it right the first time, but in learning how to fix the messes along the way!

Gotta love the Cold War classics.  Nice looking Rhino, Keyda!

Mopar Madness

Awesome!  I really like what you've done with this classic.

Thanks Tanker-Builder!

Thanks wpwar11!  The stencils weren't too horrible.  I got them done fairly quickly.  I just have to be in the right mood to do them, lol.

Nice recovery after the paint episode.  Very well done indeed.  I have one of these in the stash and I'm already dreading the stencils.

Ma'am;

 You are certainly melting me heart with those beautimus Boidies. That Phantom is Phat!

Thanks Shipwreck!

Thanks Tojo!

Thanks cbaltrin!  It's winter time, I don't have much else to keep me occupied, lol.

Looks great and built with impressive haste!

gregbale, Thank you!  I do find the paint scheme pretty eye catching, lol.  Once I did the Tomcat I had to do the rest, lol.

keavdog, Thanks!  Me too.  I like the menacing look aircraft for some reason, the Phantom just has that don't mess with me look, lol.

Thanks crown r n7!

Thanks stik!

Now I need to figure out what to do until the Hornet gets here, lol.

Excellent work Keyda! That is a BEAUTIFUL Jolly Rogers Phantom! Bravo!!!!

a very realistic NAVY F4 well done..

Turned out great.  I'm a big Phantom Phan.  

That's a beauty, Keyda!

I think the VF-84 markings were the most elegant ever to appear on the Navy birds. Really iconic.

Great work!

Finished up the Phantom this morning.  Not perfect, but considering what I went through with the paint fiasco I'm proud of myself for recovering from that mess, and not just throwing it back in the box. 

Up on the wall.

With the F-14.

Eventually the F/A-18 in the backround will be replaced with a VF-103 bird.  I had to cancel the order I had since the place didn't have it in stock, but neglected to tell me they didn't have it until I emailed them almost two weeks after the initial order.  I did order the kit from elsewhere, but it likely won't come until the end of month.

clean looking navy f4. 

 

So far, lol!  I've spent a few hours making it much dirtier.  I'll have to finish it up tomorrow though, I have ground school class tonight. 

clean looking navy f4. 

Thanks Mike!  I'm still waiting for my Hornet to ship.  It's been nearly two weeks since I ordered it and they are still "processing the order".  It's about time to send an email.

Thanks tempestjohnny!

cbaltrin, I can ready some of them, most were cautions, and warnings, no step, and no push.  I might be able to read them with my maginifiers, lol.

As a kid,  I loved all those stencil decals, figuring out what they said and why...

That's fantastic! She looks beautiful with those markings, Keyda. I might have to pick up an F-18 in this scale. I haven't done a modern jet since I was a kid.

Spent almost the entire day doing all the decals.  Glad to have them all done!

I will dirty it up a bit when I get to weathering, after decals which will hopefully be tomorrow. 

I did manage to decal the armament today, and paint the red around the landing gear doors.  Which I hate doing.  I usually mess up horribly.  I only had to repaint one this time!

Ready for a dull coat.  I pulled decals out of the spares bin, since the old Revellogram kit didn't come with any.

Gear doors, and I scratched up some very basic intake covers.  It was kind of an after thought, since there is literally no detail inside the intakes.

I should be able to get the bulk of the decals done tomorrow.  If all goes well I can likely have this wrapped up by the end of the week.  I will be busy mid week though, supposed to be in the 50's, and possibly hit 60 on Wednesday, so outdoor chores it is on those days!
