JohnNice paintwork. Colors look good, I wouldn't worry that's an issue. Can always change the tone with a wash anyway. 👍

TV_scalemodelsThanks! Yes that is very true. I think after the weathering I don't see the original colours too much..

DanielA true legend! awesome painting, the chipping is just perfectly made for this particular jet, (not an easy task, theres a thin line between realistic used look and repainting the whole thing...)

Shar DipreeExtremly nice and awesome details (overpainted insignia for example). Excelent. I'm curious how the phantom will look like in the end.
Is there a photo that you use as a reference?

TV_scalemodelsThanks for the comments!
Weathering was interesting, it is always difficult to balance realistic and nice looking. I'm glad you like it!
I used pics on the Internet and excellent fundecals instruction
for reference. And my books of course too.

Shar DipreeThanks for the links.
I think the weathering has become great. The aircrafts were partly very weathered during the war.

James CStunning looking F-4! 👍
I keep saying to myself that THIS will be the year that I pull my finger out and build one; but it never eventuates. This build has definitely renewed my desire to finally do it. 😉

Bruce HuxtableWall to wall stencils, but your scratch building skills and eye for the painting and weathering are awesome. Wow!

TV_scalemodelsThanks for your feedback! Here is a build video if you are interested:

Mr DThanks, Appreciate the interest, lm reality new to the hobby about 14 months, finding my way with techniques.
Weathering n panel lines need more learning.
The IAR-80 was decent price from HB and liked the paint scheme...bit different
👍👍
18 August, 13:25
Mr DThanks J35.
Nice to have the interest, HB instructions bit weak!
They said to paint interior charcoal black like on the FW-190.
But l checked n the Romanian lAR interior was grey/blue.
Engine building next 6 parts deal.
Cheers 😃👍

Mr DGood to have you along Miguel, engine n wings next,
A small amount of the wing is seen through bottom of cockpit, the HB instructions didn't mention painting it first!!
But the fit of the model be ok so far.
👍👍

MMUKaanHello
I am new here. I have several models, all Tamiya (aircraft)
Should I buy all the paints listed in the paint list? There are quite a few paints. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Spanjaardbasically, it is your choice (and your money) 🙂
I would say check what it is used and where. if you only need to use one color for a small detail, maybe you can make it mixing the ones you have. complete list is usually not needed since it may include different paint schemes, and if you use one, you do not use the colors of the others
23 August, 15:32
Greg BakerSeems like a double post... my comments from the previous one are:
First off, welcome to Scalemates! Second... you probably don't need every paint on the list. The first thing to keep in mind is that all the choices are up to you, so as long as you're happy with the result (or at least learn something), then it's a success. As for the paint list, it will include every single colour you need to build it OOB (out of the box) exactly as they tell you. However what you should do is go through the instructions carefully and figure out how many parts actually get painted with that colour - and if you'll be able to see them once the model is assembled. The small green dot on the control panel might not be worth buying a whole bottle of paint for... unless you plan to do a lot more control panels with green dots on them. I'd start with a few basic colours for the fuselage, and then maybe some greens or greys for the interior bits. See how that goes.
23 August, 16:42
Spanjaardof course, the ones you buy today, maybe useful in the future. anyway, it is your choice 🙂
23 August, 16:59
Greg BakerI suspect the question got posted twice. I copied and pasted my initial answer over to this thread... attaching my comments to your genius. 🙂
23 August, 18:12
MMUKaanThank you very much for the information. I plan to continue making plastic models as a hobby from now on. I even bought a lot of equipment. Your site is very useful and unique to me. I plan to buy sparmax arism viz and sparmax max 4 airbrush, do you recommend it? (second hand) Another alternative is sparmax tc 620x (this is also second hand) which one do you recommend?

TreehuggerQ: Is there any convenient way of scratchbuilding railings along the side of the ship, for 1:350 ships?
I had this idea, but don't have the tools for it. Basically using metal rods, then clamping hard on 3-4 places to flatten spots on the rod, then drill holes in those flat spots, then pull a wire through the holes later. But chances are I think the whole rod will bend every which way when clamping hard on some spots to flatten the rod in places. I suppose working with styrene rods might be simpler, but then, when drilling holes in the flat parts, the styrene will likely snap or melt if ever coming in contact with liquid glue.
One other idea I had, was to maybe try scrape the photo etch railings, to try round the otherwise "square looking" horizontal parts, making them look thinner than the "rods" standing upright, making them look more like maybe some wire than welded metal pieces.
I have seen Tamiya having some aftermarket product for the rods, with metal wire, but only for the Japanese Yamato ship, which doesn't look like most other ships I would think.

Martin OostromWow. The vertical rods are about 3-5cm diameter in real life. That equates to 1-1,5mm in scale. The ropes are 1cm in real life? So you'd need 0.03 wire? The maths is from the top of my head, so I could be wrong of course.
I wish you the best of luck in pulling that off. And I call shotgun on the build!
24 August, 09:19
TreehuggerI have some 0.1 mm metal wire. 🙂
Hmmm, maybe I could try combine that with some styrene rods, but square ones.
Hmm, 0,2 mm styrene rod might work.
Not having a precision drill mounted vertically with a wheel/lever will not be fun though.
Admittedly trying to straighten out a metal wire that's been on a roll, will be a pain, or at least have to be pulled out tight adding press/tension in the parts.

WARNING. Note it's easy to fit the axel stubs the wrong way round. At least it is for idiots like me..... Now to figure ...
