ZM F4 Early Phantom DONE

[Rockin' Rob]

I'm done for now. Hope you all like it. Obviously not done with the diorama and I messed up on the launcher rails and one of the canopies and I still had about 200 more stencils to put on but I've had enough. I need to build something else. Yes. The F4 Phantom is a beautiful plane and one hell of a warrior but by the time you are done you're frazzled. You are sick of looking at it and touching it. And you certainly don't want to build anything with stencils on it for a good while. Enjoy.

I wish I could crank out great model builds the way you guys do. Great job!

That's a good looking build

Thank you! But I don't know about cranking them out. I know some guys on here are building four or five models at a time. I just stick with one and I pretty much had the force myself to finish this cuz I get to the end and faced with all those darn stencils it just seems like you'll never get done

Thanks, Kevin.

Very nice work. I was ready to be done with my recent F-4 build as well, even though I only used a handful of stencils. But yours came out great!

Thanks a bunch! In hindsight, I probably should have started the stencils on the top side first. I started with the bottom and I was real careful and marked off each one as I put it on until I did the entire bottom. Of course, by that time, I was looking for shortcuts

Your 2 green colors have much better contrast than my F-100 did. Out of curiosity and a desire to learn, what two colors by which manufacturer did you use? It looks great by the way!

Yeah, there's no reason to put all those stencils on. It's just cruel and unusual.

Just beautiful! And in the light of day, really shines. Like the weathering.

I think I tripled that so I have extra and that's diluted exclusively with Mr color leveling thinner 50/50 at the time of spraying

I appreciate it BB! That does kind of pop in the sunlight huh?
