Tamiya Metallic TS paints decanted and airbrushed.

[JimmyO78]

Looking good. Interesting and timely subject choice given all the gossip about a 1/48 version wouldn't you say?

Update: He didn't say a thing... he just kept building!

[gtypecanare]

And the work continues....

It's looking very nice. So far all I have done with mine (2 F-4C/D and 2 F-4J) is use the kit parts to help make drawings for a 55 inch long electric ducted fan R/C model. Such a nice kit.

man thats one good looking plane, great job!

[tavo75]

What color are you using and are you using it for both under and top?

[gtypecanare]

Tavo75,
Sorry for the delay.
Here are the Tamiya Acrylic paints I used for the F-4.

Upper Surface is a mix of XF-2, XF-19, and XF-55 color matched to AS-16
Lower Surface is a mix of XF-2:10+XF-55:1 color matched to AS-20

[gtypecanare]

Finally done!

Awesome, I like it!

[gtypecanare]
