Beautifully Done! :rockon

Looks the biz!!! Really nice Bob!

Thanks fellas! I sort of neglected the model all week. I had some other irons in the fire so to speak. I'm back at it now, still putting on the old Monogram stencil decals. There are so many of them and they are so small, I can only go for an hour or so before I need to take a break. Thus the...

Yeah I heard the story if you have enough thrust you can make a brick fly. I look at F-4s as bulldogs ...... so ugly you have to love 'em!

From where I'm sitting Bob, she looks great! :thumbsup

1:32 Hasegawa P-47 Yeah boy! You nailed it! :drinks

That's why they call themselves Aviators and not pilots. To them it's mark of distinction!

As badly as I goofed up the paint job weathering is a must! Most Marine F-4s in Nam were CAS birds, with little down time for cosmetic niceties. Mud movers took a beating so yeah it'll get nastied up a bit.

Trumpeter Ju 87A in 1/32 Wow Paul, sounds like a small battle every step of the way! From the looks of things so far you have things wellin hand. Glad you're feeling better. Can't wait to see the new and improved instrument panel. I'm sure it will be a work of art! Greg

Moving along to the port side. Now I'm just having fun, stencil city from the 30 plus year old Monogram sheet. Believe it or not they are behaving nicely. Just as well be decals, as everything else about this build has been an exercise in frustration. After the painting debacle, I have now...

I'm thinking on doing a PBY Catalina in the near future, so any advise I can get on a black finish is going to come in handy .

I'm liking this a whole lot. :v

What black did you use?

1:32 Hasegawa P-47 Looking really good Ian, very clean build.

todays progress....... Here's your big star!!

VMFA 542 Tigers . A US MARINES squadron out of Danang in 1966. Got a little more done today. I would have done more but my daughter and grandson invited us to go boating........ Sit at home or hit the lake? I really struggled with that decision. :laugh: Maybe more to show tomorrow...... Greg

Agreed! I think it looks perfect.

Very nice. Weathering looks just right!

Go with your gut Bob! It sure looks like aluminum to me.
