Ade's Good Evening Da Nang F-4C Phantom II

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Well, its finished and I'm glad I carried on with it, the fit issues I had in the beginning were almost too much and it was nearly in the bin on more than one occasions.


I used Tamiya paints for the main colours, with Mr Hobby Metal colors. I used Vallejo gloss varnish for the first and last time and Tamiya Flat clear for the dull coat. Flory's washes were used and highlighted with pastels.


I must say a big thank you to those that sent out decals to help me complete it.


I'm working on a base right now and will post a picture once this is complete.


I hope you like it and comments and suggestions always welcomed

No not at all mate I thought you was a brush painter for some reason, I was gonna ask how you got such a decent finish on it!

Great job Adrian ,looks excellent in the classic SEAC scheme . Is the Tamiya flat clear an aerosol? i might have to get some , i sometimes struggle to get a really matt finish , cheers tony

Yup it's a can, I've only had 2 issues in 5 years using it, though make sure your windows are well open, the pear drop smell is over powering
