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

That's what I took it for....

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

Posted: **Tue Apr 04, 2017 11:52 pm**

All the extra bits cleaned up ready for primeing, just got to put spook together

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

Posted: **Wed Apr 05, 2017 7:40 am**

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

Posted: **Wed Apr 05, 2017 1:22 pm**

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

Posted: **Wed Apr 05, 2017 1:48 pm**

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

Posted: **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

Posted: **Tue Apr 11, 2017 4:42 pm**

Sounds like a job for the Minions guys at Retrokit.

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:08 pm**

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

Posted: **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.

Posted: **Mon Apr 17, 2017 10:02 pm**

Looking good

Posted: **Tue Apr 18, 2017 1:41 am**

Yep that is great
Good pilot and good Spook
Nice

Posted: **Tue Apr 18, 2017 11:18 pm**

Looking really good. You have convinced me to order one of the F-4 egg planes.

Go for it RC , they are fast and simple to make...mostly

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2017 10:51 pm**

Could resist doing the nose in yellow

I used lifecolor paints,gloss going down tomorrow for decals

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2017 11:49 pm**

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

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 5:39 pm**

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

Posted: **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

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 7:36 pm**

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.

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 7:43 pm**

Just found my new favourite album to decal to

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 8:08 pm**

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

Posted: **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.

Posted: **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!

Posted: **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

Posted: **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

Posted: **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.

Posted: **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.

Posted: **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.
