Hey gang! I'm happy to say that I have actually laid hands, so to speak, on the F-4F the last two nights! It was somewhat minor stuff, like touching up a few seams and then starting some masking on the inside of the canopies where they will appear black.
A quick photo:
Also off topic, I am also continuing on that F-105G and now that I completed the building of the tub, I thought I would post a photo of it along side the melted one. I was rather pleased how it turned out as it is the first time I ever scratched something this complicated.
It's a bit glossy right now as I wanted a smooth surface for those self-adhesive PE parts to stick to. I guess it's sort of related to the F-4G though, because I got interested in the Thud as it relates to the Weasels used in SEA.
As to PE parts, I was considering future projects and thought about sprucing up the cockpit of the 'E' when I start it someday, but i can only seem to find what I want available only at Eduard's web site. The sets I would like to have are marked as discontinued and deeply discounted! Have any of you had experience ordering directly from Eduard? I understand it may take a month or two to arrive? And shipping-is it expensive? They also have a set for the RF-4C discounted in case I decide to go for that kit I mentioned earlier.
Oh, and last but not least, 26carlos, those metallic areas look great! I never seem to get the same effect when I use the Testors products. I will say that I usually paint the metal areas last as they can be difficult to mask when you go to paint the other areas. I'll have to remember the combinations you used for my "F".
Cheers!
