Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Phil has been on FSM since 2008.  Nice looking Phantom, tho. 

I agree this thread is 7 years old. Its not even promodeller anymore its Flory wash

I love this thread!!  First a picture of a Ramstien jet I worked on then a picture of a Seymour jet I spent a lot of time on!  Good ole' 74-1649.  That was one of my favorite jets.  It was the only one that had all the parts for the APX-76 IFF system synced together so it actually worked (APX was  the nightmare system for us Comm/Nav guys).  Hey Bernie, what decals are those?

I have no idea.  I did a Google search and came up with the model.

It isn't the best pictures, but it will give you an idea on where it is located.

Thanks Berny, That will be in my next one for sure.

Lovely work on yours too

Hi, I use a  Harder & Steenbeck evoluion with 0.4 needle for camo work with Vallejo model air acrylic paints and the a wash of Promodellers weathering wash all over the model. Hope that helps Phil

Thanks Phil,

At the moment, i just use a Paasche H (single action), which can't get too fine.  In Australia, i haven't seen/heard of Harder & Steenbeck, in fact, i've never seen our stores stock anything other than Paasche and Badger.  So i guess i'm limited to those two brands.

Hope to see more of your fine works in the future on this site.

Phil,

That's a really impressive build.  The weathering is really nice, particularly on the underside.  The way you did the bare metal surfaces is nice too.

That Phantom looks amazing - SEA camo is easily my favourite scheme. Can i ask what airbrush you use?  I'm extremely impressed with the nice demarcation lines.  cml

Now THAT is definately a model that deserves the "Phabulous Phantom" moniker.  Outstanding work.

to namrednef,  yes, all F-4 Phantoms had the tail hook.  Non-carrier capable F-4s used them for emergency arrestor cable engagements and such crazyness as "Pardo's Push".  Look that one up on the internet.  It is an interesting story.

I cannot add to these great kudos! Nice!

....just a question born of ignorance about non-Navy/Marine F-4s.....Did all Phantoms serve with an arrestor hook? Just a general question for anyone.
