This is my 1/48
Hasegawa F-4F. I used an Aires cockpit, resin burner nozzles, TD intakes, a few
PE items for the undercarriage. I primed the model with Mr. Surfacer 1200, after
it dried I painted the model in white satin decanted from a can of Fusion for
Plastic. I custom mixed the orange paint using GSI acrylics. Various reference
were gathered to the get the right shade of orange. Metal and exhaust areas were
painted using Alclad II. Finally, I used the excellent Twobobs for the
decals.

I found the
Aires cockpit to be very nice but took alot of sanding and dry fitting to
fit. Overall I like how it turned out. The TD intakes were a little short
in length. Same length as the old kit's raised intakes. Also, I borrowed
the WRM centerline tank from my Revell F-15E to fit the phantom's.
Overall it was a fun
build and would look forward to my next F-4F build.
