Is t that hole the locating point for the canopy??

That's what I thought but I've no locating pin on the canopy. Unless it's just a moulding issue!!!!

My canopy has a small pin.... well almost a nub as opposed to a pin on the front of the canopy

It's not the size of the stub, it is how you use it

Never had to worry about that myself

Woah, it comes with the little phantom dude. I need one of these kits now!

That's spook sorted going to leave him eggless until he's painted.

I've surrendered to the puns

I know there so cool. They should bring out an entire range for every country that flew the F4

Spook · Post by **Spook** » Wed Apr 05, 2017 1:48 pm

That's the wheel wells filled and the gaps along the wing roots.time for the primer.

Spook · Post by **Spook** » Thu Apr 06, 2017 5:45 pm

Everything primed using ultimate primer and the cans have had a coat of mr metal dark iron and chrome silver.

How great would it be if Hasegawa did that...I am often surprised by what manufacturers don't make that would sell bucket loads

Sounds like a job for the Minions guys at Retrokit.

Spook · Post by **Spook** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:08 pm

That's the cockpit done. Time to button it up and get the main base colour down.

Spook · Post by **Spook** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:15 pm

Spook is all done.
I've used a mix of Vallejo,tamiya paints and covered in a coat of satin varnish.
Pretty pleased with the way he turned out.

Fridgy · Post by **Fridgy** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 10:02 pm

Looking good

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 1:41 am

Thanks Scott ,it was the closest egg related thing I could find. Talking about eggs in frying pans I think some some egg banjos are in order

Start of the decaling,with 4 coats of alclad gloss.

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Sat Apr 22, 2017 5:55 pm

I shouldn't be surprised that a guy with an online name Spook has a cool Spook decal for the tail
THAT looks awesome

That's all the decals done and the missiles finished off,just got to let it all settle before the last few coats of varnish.

Spook · Post by **Spook** » Sat Apr 22, 2017 7:43 pm

Just found my new favourite album to decal to

Lysus · Post by **Lysus** » Sat Apr 22, 2017 8:08 pm

Pops used to have that and Oxygene (?) on when painting his trains.

Spook · Post by **Spook** » Sat Apr 22, 2017 11:27 pm

While I was waiting for the decals to dry thought I would make some smoke trails.
Used some cotton wool wrapped around a straw and sprayed with black primer.

I've got oxygene hidden on iTunes somewhere,heck of a lot better than some of the stuff around nowadays.

Lysus · Post by **Lysus** » Sat Apr 22, 2017 11:47 pm

Modern music owes a lot to him. It is good stuff to decal to, usually do something like it as well. No words, just beats and rhythm.

Bold move on the smoke!

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Sun Apr 23, 2017 7:05 am

Hey! That is pretty cool music guys, never heard of him before....will pop some on tomorrow while modelling and see if I get any better at it

I thought I was all cool with Pipe Choir Dream On...that is a pretty spacey song
Now I am hunting weird music

It's defo old school stuff, but it has that weird late 70s/early 80s trippy vibe to it. IT's good stuff for when you're totally in the zone.

Photobucket is a pain in the rear end, just spent the last hour editing all the posts to get the pictures back. Think I'm going to have a look for a better editor

Spook · Post by **Spook** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 5:57 pm

Masks removed,missiles glued in place along with 3 coats of alclad matte gloss, so I'm calling the plane done

Spook · Post by **Spook** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 6:09 pm

So I've decided to do a runway dio aswell so I found an old draw front and covered it in 4 coats of Ultimate primer.

Spook · Post by **Spook** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 6:13 pm

Top and centre line sprayed in ammo white primer,as soon as it all drys I'll masked of for the stripes.

Spook · Post by **Spook** » Sat Apr 29, 2017 10:20 pm

Runway markings unmasked after another dose of Ultimate black primer. Just waiting for the smoke trails to dry then I can get the plane on the Tarmac and it's done.
